Back in the sixties in the pubs of this area,singers from Glasgow usedto do weekend gigs.One of the favourites was an old Gallagher and lyle song which contained the chorus line "Just being Andy Mooney take you anywhere in the world".Its been going through my head a lot lately,but I cant get the lyric or title...Anybody there? |

I don't recall the lyric, so did a general web search for Gallagher & Lyle. The best shot seems to be this site http://www.rito.com/g&l/frames.htm which is a fan site. It has a forum - so you could ask the question there. Best of luck! Quack! GtD. |

Back in the 60s all the young folkies were into Benny and Graeme as they lived quite near my home,and the first G+L songs were performed regularly in the pubs and hotels....This song is one which was very popular at the time and was an anthem of my youth...Ill let you know how I get on....Thanks again Ake... |

I've listened to the YouTube video and the sound quality is very poor. Anyone who is somewhat familiar with the song would probably do a better job of transcribing it than I would, so I won't attempt it just now (though I normally eagerly attack projects like this). |

Song is about a shipyard worker on the River Clyde, near Glasgow who moves to Australia in search of opportunity when the emmigration drive to Australia happened. |
