Ray Fisher - Over Yonder Banks

Ray Fisher (sister of Archie Fisher) singing "Over Yonder Banks". From the album "Willie's Lady", released in 1982 (written by Graeme Miles).
Watch in high quality.

Lyrics:

We lived over yonder banks
where those tall cranes touch the sky
by the railway siding wall
where those terraced houses lie

and we used to live at 24
or was it 26
'twas such a long long time ago
I can't remember which

we lived over yonder banks
over there

and we played tack on yonder tip (?)
when the watchman was away
up and down we used to run
oh, a hundred times a day

and when the shipyard siren blew
we chased each other home
but that was some long time back since
some thirty years or so

we lived over yonder banks
over there

where I'm at the station now
waiting for the evening train
wondering if by some small chance
I might pass this way again

though I left the town
when I was young
deep inside I know
a little will remain with me
no matter where I go

I might have some of the lyrics wrong. Please comment if you spot a mistake. :)

All credit goes to Ray Fisher. I only put the music and images together for Youtube to enjoy this greatly underexposed artist.

Thanks for the comment. I don't think I would call either of them better than the other, though. Especially since they also made music together.

I'm planning on putting some more songs up, but have to find the time for it.

I'm afraid I don't have a version of this song with Archie. I don't know if they ever recorded this song together. I do know they made an album (well, a single really, only 2 songs) together in 1961, called 'Far Over The Forth' , but that one doesn't have this song on it.

Rest in Peace
