Mother Glasgow - Michael Marra @ 1988
In the second city of the Empire
Mother Glasgow nurses all her weans
And working hard to feed her little starlings
Unconciously she clips their little wings
And Mother Glasgow's succour is perpertual
Nestling The Billy and The Tim
I dreamed I took a dander with St Mungo
To try to catch a fish that couldna swim
Among the silent bells and flightless birdies
Father Glasgow knows his starlings well
For he will not make his way up to heaven
By waltzing all his charges into hell
And Mother Glasgow's succour is perpertual
Nestling The Billy and The Tim
I dreamed I took a dander with St Mungo
To try to catch a fish that couldna swim
For the tree and the bird and the fish and the bell
Let Glasgow flourish
