I think this song was originally a Francie & Josie number. They were a Glaswegian pair, Jack Milroy & Rikki Fulton & I suspect they pre-dated the Corries. I know for sure that they recorded it as my dad had it on an LP!
I love listening to them banter with the audience and each other! What exactly does Ronnie say at 4:17? I can't quite catch it all ("______ like you should have given that kind of thing up long ago! My wife did. That's not funny when I come to think of it!)
That was great...

@jacquiejamieson You're right - according to the sleeve on my Corries CD, Rikki Fulton wrote it.
