I Wish I Was in Glasgow..........HomepageA Scottish song you can hear and join in - at the Saturday night ceilidh in the Lade Inn - Kilmahog near Callander, Scotland

  1. I wish I was in Glasgow, with some good old friends of mine
    Some good and rough companions, And some good old smooth red wine
    We'd talk about the old days, And the old town's sad decline
    And drink to the boys on the road
    That great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
    And still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
    Oh' but Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away
    And prepared me for life on the road
  2. I was born in Glasgow, near the centre of the town
    I would take you there and show you,
    But they've pulled the building down
    And when I think about it, It always makes me frown
    They’ve bulldozed it all to make a road
    That great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
    And still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
    Oh’ but Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away
    And prepared me for life on the road
  3. My grannie brought the family up, from the time we lost our mum
    My father was a good man, He made me what I am
    There was always bread and butter, There was sometimes even jam
    And there was so much to learn along the road
    That great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
    And still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
    Oh' but Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away
    And prepared me for life on the road
