Reminds me of my late father, Archy. He used to play this and we watched the quiet man every Sunday. X

This is the greatest ever song about Glasgow, and you wrote and sang it dear ole Billy. And you made me laugh through the 70's 80's and 1990's. We wish you well.

Wish I could live my days left in Glasgow xo

Thanks for posting this Paul. To my mind this is the best song Billy wrote and is the best version ever. He puts so much feeling into it and the words are perfect. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

Lived there for four years. Best city I’ve ever known

i am from Stoke, and worked as a miner, I miss the crack.

I’m still here in 2024

Read the real gorbals story next 😅

When I first heard this song many many years ago, I removed the word Glasgow and in its place was where I was born and raised. Then it all began to make sense. The song is universal and appeals to people everywhere. It reminds people of where they were born and raised. The video production may be lo-fi but its superb. Well done.

Thank you

For my beloved mother I lost her in February to dementia she was. A Glasgow girl 😢

glasgow loves billy with all her heart

Billy your a living legend. Even when your not you will alway be a legend of Glasgow

Glasgow is the greatest hardest, city in the UK but its ppl are the warmest and friendly people in the world. Glasgows 850 yr old nxt yr Glasgows miles better ❤❤❤❤❤

Same age as Billy Connelly , was in the same class with him at school . Yes Glasgow did teach me more than it ever took away. So so true.

I was born in the East End of Glasgow Meadowpark Street in Dennistoun don't remember much because i was that young but still remember a few things like Alexander Parade & the big park things like the Swallow cafe think there was a Italian ice cream shop can't remember. Only stayed there for P1 & P2 at ST Denis's before we moved away. No matter where i go in this world Glasgow will always have that little part in me

The song I listened to in my cabin when at sea for up to 14 months at a time and missing home

🎉❤😊❤🎉

I'm sure this song would have an even greater poignancy to me were I actually from Scotland (I'm from the Oakland area in America) but I feel like these themes really transcend borders. There's a very universal feeling of "yeah, this town is a mean piece of shit place, but it's MY mean piece of shit place, and I wouldn't rather be from anywhere else". There will always be parts you don't like (like those special places to you getting torn down, something I'm very familiar with), but there's also the immense blessings to be alive and to be around those you come to know and love. Writing this from college, first long time away from home, and I hope everyone here feels like home is never too far away, at least in spirit.

No place in thgis world like Glasgow ...Have travelled far & wide but when you get to Glasgow Central ... You are homE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love

My great grandfather was a horse drawn tram driver many years ago

Posel park born n raised sighthill lived aswell and easterhouse and then pollock

Man this makes me tear up man i live in Southampton now and just wish i could go home

Agree with everyone that this is a sublime piece by Billy ….. haunting and so powerful…….one of those covers of a song where the singer has made it their own…..would have been good to see the songwriter Iain Mackintosh credited

I love glasgow. Brings a tear to my eye what these snp charlatans in charge are doing to it

Beautiful song

Class these old school tunes from real men that worked the pubs clubs an stated in backs of vans not like these spoon fed wokes sadly acts like billy are lost today big cheers to the old boys of days gone bye

I was born and raised in Glasgow. Since then I have lived in many countries but Glasgow will always be in my heart.❤

I'm not from Glasgow but I've spent a massive amount of time there...I love the place and the people, one of my favourite cities....that song actually makes me cry...beautiful

LONG LIVE 99 DUNDAS STREET

Was born in Maryhill hospital...nuff said...

My mum was born in Glasgow. She chuckled when she heard the line about the building pulled down to build a road.

Most depressing song. Mr Connolly made his money and on first opportunity left for America and the sunshine. Left us to it yet still we managed. Mother Glasgow I am with you daily.

This song makes me so happy and sad at the same time wonderful song

Just beautiful. And wonderful.

I was born and raised in castlemilk 1956 in my parents bedroom in our wee council flat in croftfoot rd. It was a tough place but had the kindest people, I worked in maryhill as a apprentice motorcycle mechanic and it was not far from Billy's favourite pub the saree heid. I will miss Billy a lot he was part of my life growing up in Glasgow. R.I.P Billy

Excellent song ,big man

Being born and bred in GLASGOW is badge of honour I m proud of Living in Australia my accent is still there I return 2 years ago i return wife and grown up kids and grandkids to this city and town and why AM PROUD TO SCOTTISH

Dreary song, drearilly describing a dreary place.

"Bulldozed it all to make a road", the destruction of Anderson, Cowdaddens and other areas, to make the M8 and Kingston Bridge.

Oh I wish I was in Glasgow With some good old friends of mine, Some good old rough companions And some good old smooth red wine. We could talk about the old days And the old town's sad decline And drink to the boys on the road. Oh I was born in Glasgow Near the centre of the town. I would take you there and show you But they've torn the building down, And when I think about it It always makes me frown They bulldozed it all to make a road. And that great old place I miss so much Has seen much better days, And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways. Oh but Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road. And that great old place I miss so much Has seen much better days, And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways. Oh but Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road. My granny was a cleaner, My grandad drove a tram, My father an engineer, Made me all I am. They have seen the city come and go, Still they give a damn. There's so much to learn along the road. And Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road.

Come back hame billy forever pal
