This is interesting. I knew the first song as a street song in Glasgow in the 50’s: “One two, three a-learie, I saw Wallace* dearie, sitting on his bumbalearie, kissing ____*” (*insert names as you wish). In those days and before, folk songs did not know political boundaries. The tune is also the chorus of the Dundee song Donal’ Ban (Donald Don), an illicit whisky distiller.

meting your friends as you had now mobile phones no modern gadget no internet face book etc etc.. being active being happy and longing for the next day to meet them again.. just being a normal health child unlike today.... its not the kids fault today its society and the enormous pressure it has on them to have everything some cannot afford... I loved those days... interaction with people not technology . I know what im doing not sort of dismisses my point but how else these days can I make such a point?? great vid lads and lassies ... God bless the good old days....

I played all of them growing up in Cork City in the 1950/60s. I didn't like Chessies because you had to keep the twine wrapped around a finger to keep it from being smashed out of your hand and if the other lad hit it hard enough, boy would it sting.
