Green Grow the Rashes O - Robert Burns

[JCMcGee]

Brilliant...again!

(I recorded a version of this song for an album a few years back and my band vetoed it 'cause of my terrible singing!)

I first heard it from the Blantyre band BMX Bandits.

@JCMcGee - Some great versions of this by contemporary singers. Have to admit I'm no big fan of McKellar and co from the days that TV had all those terribly proper tenors singing. My granny loved them. Just glad i never found a version by Sidney Devine. Knew a girl from Blantyre

Great stuff Stew, I remember singing this at school, but a little faster I think and maybe slightly different words :)

[StubyStubyDoo]

@UnluckyMum - Hi C. There is a different english song with a similira Title - faster...reminiscent of maypoles and morris dancers. But I do hope you did the Burns song - so full of wisdom and celebration!

Stewart, I would love to be going to that Burns Night, to hear you singing this. That real Scots flavour with your own take on it - fantastic!

My favourite line is "But gie me a cannie 'oor at E'en". "But give me a quiet hour at evening" doesn't quite sound the same, does it?

[StubyStubyDoo]

@theloudhalo - Hi HThanks for saying something nice!

[floydbluethereal]

[StubyStubyDoo]

@floydbluethereal - Hi Ralf - Thanks for taking time to comment . Appreciated
