Loved this...Finally figured out the words to the song at long last but the wine got in the way of coordinating the sound coming out of my mouth...LOL
I am from Ardrossan 'doon the watter' and I remember as a child slowing this record down on the radiogram to decipher the words in the third verse. Great stuff!
yeah but u think this is the DEFINITIVE VERSION your version id for oh...2000 or so people that cnat make there mind up between rangers or celtic so they support clyde
I agree. And although I now live in Denmark my memories of the Great Kenneth and the days I worked in in Largs and In Brodick (Arran)are also great memories.
Fantastic indeed! Just documenting a chapter in my family history where my great great grandfather was a hammerman in the shipyards of Dumbarton c1855/56. After singing along to your video the chapter is of course going to be called 'The Hammers Ding-Dong is the Song of the Clyde'!!! Many Thanks bb45678
I'm showing my age here, but does anyone remember the very funny sketch from the Stanley Baxter Show, he was dressed in top hat and tales, standing on the deck of the Waverley Steamer, I think, singing this song as he passes by the sign for the Dalmuir Sewage Works.
dis song was played at mi grans funeral she was from glasgow

The proper name of the Clyde is the Caluth. Clyde is the English name.

Very good. Nice sequences and well put together. Take a look at my channel for a couple of recent sailing experiences around the firth.
Keep up the good work!

As an exiled Glaswegian who used to spend a month in Dunoon every year, this brought back many memories. Fantastic!
