Song of the Clyde-Kenneth McKellar

Song Of The Clyde - Kenneth McKellar Written by：Ian Gourlay/R Y Bell I'll sing of a river I'm happy beside The song that I sing is a song of the Clyde Of all Scottish rivers it's dearest to me It flows from Leadhills all the way to the sea It borders the orchards of Lanark so fair Meanders through meadows with sheep grazing there But from Glasgow to Greenock in towns on each side The hammersp ding dong is the song of the Clyde Oh the river Clyde the wonderful Clyde The name of it thrills me and fills me with pride And I'm satisfied whate'er may be tide The sweetest of songs is the song of the Clyde Imagine we've left Craigendoran behind And wind happy yachts by Kilcreggan we find At Kirn and Dunoon and Innellan we stay Then Scotland's Madeira that's Rothesay they say Or maybe by Fairlie or Largs we will go Or over to Millport that thrills people so Maybe Joumey to Arran it can't be denied Those scenes all belong to the song of the Clyde Oh the river Clyde the wonderful Clyde The name of it thrills me and fills me with pride And I'm satisfied whate'er may be tide The sweetest of songs is the song of the Clyde There's paw andmaw at Glasgow Broomielaw Going doon the water for The Fair There's Bob and Mary on the Govan Ferry Wishing jet propulsion could be there There's steamers cruising and there's buddies snoozing And there's laddies fishing frae the pier And paw's perspiring very near expiring As he rows a boat frae there to here With eyes a flashing it is voted smashing To be walking daily on the prom And May and Evelyn are in seventh heaven As thy stroll along with Dick and Tom And Dumbarton rock to every Jean and Jock Extends a welcome that is high and wide Seems to know that they are on their homeward way To hear the song of the Clyde Oh the river Clyde the wonderful Clyde The name of it thrills me and fills me with pride And I'm satisfied whate'er may be tide The sweetest of songs is the song of the Clyde The sweetest of songs is the song of the Clyde
