As has been stated before the 'Jeely Piece song' was written by Adam McNaughton - another of his classics is 'Where is the Glasgow that ah used tae know'. Big Adam was my English Teacher at Rutherglen Academy in1968-69. The Rutherglen Academy Ballads Club was quite something then -the late Norman Buchan had a hand in it too, I think. Last saw Adam in his wee book shop in Parnie Street but thats a load a years ago now
