Aw, this takes me way back to the 1950/60's growing up in Glasgow . My Dad played this on vinyl 45rpm .. along with the likes of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton many more .. and all the auld Irish tunes too .. music that I still love to this day. Music is a gift that we should pass on to our kids the way our folks did with us .. Songs send us back in time + remind us of people and places long gone . 🎸🎼🎸

[@amandawhyte1833]

My dad always played Lassie come and dance with me - it was our song :)

[@johnmelrose]

Bought this record in 1967,so heart rendering. They played at a golden wedding at the Livingston Inn, I served them refreshments. At the time I didn't realise who they were, sadly I never saw them again. Rest in peace, you were simply great entertainers. God Bless.

[@philmckay1]

I first met Tom & Jack 40 yrs over ago when I compered all their shows at The Queensberry Arms Hotel in Annan and it was so much fun , both were true gentlemen and made everyone feel like one big family. How time fly's. We really have lost two of best entertainers ever. I would meet up from time to time through my work at Grampian TV in the 80s and 90s . I listened to a great tribute to them both on BBC Scotland's sat night show Take The Floor . I'm so proud to have met you both and worked with you . Will never forget you both RIP both.

[@gaidhealmcintyre6867]

This is the only version I ever heard since a child ...and it always makes me cry.....

[@briarclose8846]

This brings back fond memories of my grandparents who often played the Alexander Brothers music. I never appreciated the music as a child, but now I do. Memories of a happy time surrounded by people I loved and miss very much to this day. RIP grandparents, I love you.

[@johncatto5019]

Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to this song.

[@deniseorr1736]

Omg this was the theme tune to my childhood 😢 I listened to this over and over, thankfully I'm now 57, have 4 adult kids and 16 grandchildren so all is good now xxx

[@marygibson5817]

I have not heard this song in years, my aunt used to sing it when I was a kid living in Scotland and she just passed away a few months ago and I had not seen her in years, but this song reminds me of her. Beautiful song. Miss living in Scotland.

[@kathcherry3300]

My dad used to sing this and lots of their songs. Love it. Think the queens passing has made me sentimental for my homeland. 😢😢😟

[@Thewritingbutler]

It's Remembrance Day 2013. It is with great sadness that I learned today of Jack's passing. We sure miss you Jack and thanks for the memories. Condolences to the his brother Tom and all of the Alexander family.

[@conradmacneil8633]

Sang on stage with these guys in the early 70’s. Wonderful performers and really great guys. Miss you both. CMN.

[@cammygreaves9476]

This reminds me of my childhood in rural South Lanarkshire. For 18 blissful years everything about Scotland was good. These kinds of songs, and 2 great football teams - Rangers and Scotland, and I had heard nothing of any others until I went to University in Glasgow. What a shock and different perspective on life that gave!!

[@ladygardener100]

Nostalgia in buckets, we used to go to Largs every summer, Silver spray and all the Silver built rowing boats for hire. Times long gone.

[@fred-di8xl]

I have enjoyed all of the songs from Tom and ajaack for many years God bless them R,I,P,

[@013827]

[@johnmacleod4481]

I can't help but think after all the years that thus sing was sung,that it would touch a chord and heartstrings to the listener and fan of The Alexander Brothers.

[@amandawhyte1833]

joan watt... Like you Joan I was brought up listening to the Alexander brothers. Their songs remind me of my childhood days. Felt sad when Jack passed away. Whenever I'm visiting the cemetery, I always stop at Jack's final resting place for a moment and thank him for his wonderful music.
