As has been stated before the 'Jeely Piece song' was written by Adam McNaughton - another of his classics is 'Where is the Glasgow that ah used tae know'. Big Adam was my English Teacher at Rutherglen Academy in1968-69. The Rutherglen Academy Ballads Club was quite something then -the late Norman Buchan had a hand in it too, I think. Last saw Adam in his wee book shop in Parnie Street but thats a load a years ago now

[@kildrummer]

Been to his book shop a few times,but didn't know Adam wrote this.He seemed a brilliant man.

[@lesgaff3012]

Wow. Last seen in a book shop in Battlefield. The ballad of Archie Cathcart a good one too

[@AngusQuinn-e2u]

What ya think of this

[@edeledeledel5490]

I never understand why Scottish performers sing in such a broad Scottish accent that I can't understand it. I'm sure this song might be interesting, but I just can't be bothered. Dick Goughan is the same - brilliant musician, but he might as well be singing in Chinese. Some presenters on telly are almost indecipherable as well. The Welsh, Irish, Cornish and Newcastle presenters don't do it. Why do the Scots think it important to be unintelligible to other nations by retaining the breadth of their accents? Perhaps they don't want English people to listen to them. I don't have a problem with Billy Connelly, or the Proclaimers; I think they tone it down a bit in order to communicate properly.

[@monicam34]

i dont see you point are you trying to say lets wipe out accents all together and have no individuality

[@karlysacting]

Am my the only one looking for a lyric video

[@as3cs3]

[@iainhill2101]
