Love this old song, I lived and sailed out of Liverpool in the 1970s. Brings back memories of the docks, pubs and Liverpool judies. A great old sea town!

Sorry lads, forgot to ask earlier, what key do you usually play it in? Ed.

Hi Jim & Damian, great to have another tune from you! I know that I "don't know" this tune, but somehow it sounds very familiar! Hope that makes sense ... I will be having a go at playing along with your video! Many thanks, and best wishes ! Ed.

Hi Ed, thanks for the kind words. Yes it's an old Scottish tune, it sounded familiar to us but we had to look up the name. This one is in the key of D. We try to swap the keys around a wee bit for variety, but D is nice and easy for Mandolins/Banjo. Best wishes

When Roy Williamson died I drove my Ford Cortina mk 3 up to Camperdown Park in Dundee and sat on the bonnet and played his tunes on my Harmonica in tears. Part of my youth disappeared that night. Thanks for the music and humour boys.

A real blast from the past..... I watched this back in 1987 when it was first released. Managed to see them in concert in 1988 before Roy's untimely death.... The Corries' music has been a part of me all my life, 52 year old, "exiled" in Wales and still on my playlist as I run to work. Music for the ages indeed.. Thank you for posting! Rob

Greetings Damian & Jim (I have to ask ... who play's which instrument?) Love the tune! I only know one Neil Gow tune ("Farewell To Whisky") but this one is quite catchy! Is it N.G. Senior or Junior who composed it?, and thanks for the lyrics too! Hope this finds you both well! Kind Regards, Ed.
@fireflyxl5Ай бұрын
Hello Ed, thanks for the kind words! Good to hear from you, how are you? I think this is a Neil Gow Senior tune, he marched with the Jacobites in 1745 for a short time I believe. On this one Jim is playing guitar! Kind Regards.

Great, stirring version of this classic Jacobite tune, lads. A great favourite of mine from pub sessions many years aago. And still enjoyed a lot!

There seem to be several types of lyrics of this song. I like Niamh Parsons's version.

I mind watchinv them on the tv as a child. Going to town and village halls all over Scotland. Proper ceilidhs. I have albums too. I also have the privilege of telling my guests on tours I take that The Corries first sang Flower of Scotland in the Waverly Bar just off Edinburghs Royal Mile. I do this every working day. It is important to me to remember them and certain guests just swell with the memory of The Corries too. Pure feel good merchants

This style just sounds so blooming pompous, from the whistling to the stilted, almost pronounced way of declaiming the lines as opposed to someone just bloody singing them. It's a fantastic song spoiled by self-important delivery. I know people worship at the shrine of the Corries but it was a different age, we've got beyond that and the way songs are presented more naturally now (even in the 80s, see Dick Gaughan or others) just does more credit to the material.

Man, this style is likely the origins of what was the mountain music from Appalachia as these people settled throughout the colonies and states.

That was amazing. My mom had the Chad Mitchell Trio version on a 45. Have never heard this version, as it’s a little different. Incredible. And the guy can whistle! Wow

Does anyone know what this video is from? Just found this one song - would dearly love to find out more a out them.. If it's from a VHS or live concert or performance, along with other songs. Or a television special. thanks!
@fireflyxl52 ай бұрын
Hello General. My uncle recorded this from the TV onto a VHS tape when it was initially broadcast. You can get a better quality recording of it on DVD from the Corries store: corries.com/product/a-complete-vision-of-the-corries-volumes-1-and-2/ I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards.
