Ryan's Fancy ..The Squid Jiggin Groundby kelticknots33,187 views
can anyone tell me about the history of this song,it was on a record in my house 30 -40 years ago,my father was a shop steward and i think it was on some sort of union album,he always worked in steelworks and fought soo hard for his fellow workers he died a very unhappy man.think he felt screwed over by the way the inustrial heart got ripped out of the uk by its own fucking goverment.sorry for swearning but I think the goverment has destroyed this country.

@cycloneaxe It will take a few days to research. 40 years is 1970. The Clancy's sang this song in the 1960's. I believe it is Traditional. But I'll see if I can dig more up.

From Wikipedia "Silesian weavers uprising (German: Schlesischer Weberaufstand) of 1844." May be a lead

This entry in Wikipedia in re The Calton Weavers describes the Calton Weavers, and Nancy Whiskey, both a song and a Lady Singer come from it. Closer I think.

@cycloneaxe The short guy on the right is Jack Burke. ". I went to my copy of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Song Book, pub. 1964 and all it says above the copy was "Arranged, adapted and New Material by Liam Clancy and Ewan MacColl" - hey, isn't that a Scottish name?" He is doing more.

from Jack: "The author was a Forfar weaver, David Shaw. He died in Forfar in 1856." Also, "The song was printed in Robert Ford's collection "Vagabond Songs and Ballads of Scotland" in 1899". And, "Shaw was a Chartist sympathizer, and would sing this song with other of his compositions, at trade and Chartist meetings during that period.".
