Can't find a website. Lines like, "I'm Pawkie Paterson from New York" Something about giving away his boots "If he pushes his feet right in them, They'll come up to his knee" "I'm Pawkie Patterson from New York - - - " etc. |

It's a song from the Scottish borders, around Hawick, as far as I know, and very much in the local dialect of that area. The singer was John Morran, one of our best kept secrets. He deserves to be much better known. New York don't come into it, but he'll be amused to hear that when I see him next week. |

NOT from Cape Breton - all as Kenny said! Great SCOTTISH band! http://www.footstompin.com/artists/deaf_shepherd Click on "Synergy" for more details of the track listing on that CD. |
