- Lyrics :
It was by the clear Molendinar Burn
Where it meets and runs with the River Clyde,
And they tell the tale of the holy one
Who was fishing down by the riverside.
A holy man from Fife he came,
His name, they say, was Kentigern,
And by the spot where the fish was caught
The Dear Green Place was born.
Though the salmon run through the river stream,
And they salted them by the Banks of Clyde,
And the faces glow'd as the silver flow'd,
And the place arose by the riverside.
There was cloth to dye and hose to buy
The traders came from all around
And they raised a glass to the Dear Green Place,
The place that was a town.
Chorus: There is a town that once was green,
And the river flowed to the sea.
The river flows forever on,
But the Dear Green Place is gone.
When the furnaces came to fire the iron,
And the folk were thrown from far off land,
Then the Irish man, and the Highland man,
And the hungry man came with willin' hands.
They wanted work, a place to live,
Their empty bellies wanted filled,
And the farmyard was another world
From the dirty, overcrowded mill.
Now, you may have heard of the foreign trade,
And fortunes made by tobacco lords,
But the working man slaved his life away
And a narrie grave was his sole reward.
A dreary room, a corwded slum,
Disease and hunger everywhere,
And the price to pay was another day
And fight the anger and despair.
Chorus
A thousand years have been here and gone
Since Kentigern saw the Banks of Clyde.
And how many dreams? and how many tears?
In a thousand years of a city's life.
A city hard, a city proud,
And no mean city it has been.
Perhaps tomorrow it yet may be
But the Dear Green Place again
There is a town that once was green,
And the river flowed to the sea.
The river flows forever on,
But the Dear Green Place is gone.

Wer hat das Lied auch nur angehört, weil es im Greenline Englisch Buch auf S.21 steht? Trotzdem immernoch bester Song im Englischbuch
muss das als strafarbeit machen hahaha 10. Klasse bayern kacke
Dann empfehle ich dringend, die Version von "Lack of Limits" anzuhören - die ist top!
Bruh
Ich 😂 und es ist wirklich der beste Song im Englischbuch!
Ich😂 das ist der beste Song in dem blöden Greenline😂😢
Muss das wegen der Schule Anhören. Wer noch?
Ich auch, heute noch!
They made us listen to this for English lessons and I can't complain
German?
(I found it in the greenline books 10th class)
@@keinname7478 I'm not German but I live there so I have to learn English from German, which is more foreign to me than English, but yeah, they put a lot of cringe political and leftist shit into our books, you know, Klett, but I am happy with this song
Same
FrfrCan relate
Green line 5?
Glesgae, ma hame toon. I went to school by the Molendinar - St Mungo´s Academy- and was born a few yards away in Duke Steet Hospital. I now live thousands of miles away frae the dear green place but Glasgow is in my heart forever.
I have always loved this song since hearing it on the radio show "Thistle n Shamrock (I think that's what it was called) with Fiona Richie (?) as the host. This was in the 1990's. Listening to her show was a good way to learn about the Celtic world and its music.
Saw them in North Carolina in the 80’s … and this is still one of my favorites! ❤️🍷
Been one of my favorites since I was a child.
Aye to that, this I'll love forever more
The answer to a) is: flut, guitar, Akkordeon
Thanks
Amazing song, i came here from English Lesson.
I love that the three people who commented on this aren't Scottish. :D It'd great to see that other countries appreciate our traditional music.
I appreciate it very very much - it is simply beautiful. However, I am Irish so it's hardly surprising. I have loads of Scottish music in my collection.
check out this link. ruclips.net/video/vKzBMT6VxDE/видео.html the fiddle player (as you may know) is Davy Tulloch from the Shetlands and you will of course know peerie Willy. I once had the privelage of spending a weekend in his company in Co Cork at a folk festival 30 years ago. He was a genius and taken far too young.
viciouswolf1111 Music transcends geography. You don´t have to be Scottish to enjoy listening to Scottish traditional music. You just have to be able to appreciate good music when you hear it. Greetings from Iceland. :)

Your absolutely right, but it is flattering none the less. I quite like the Nordic and Icelandic twangs on Scottish traditional music btw.
+viciouswolf1111 the South sir. I'm probably the only country boy who listens to the folk songs of the Isles.
kann jemand die Lösung reinstellen zur S.21/2a
Ist wahrscheinlich schon zu spät aber: Dudelsack, Geige, Gitarre, Gesang, Querflöte, Keyboard, sowie logischerweise ein Bass aber das sind die Lösung die man als Musiker heraushört in den Schullösungen stehen wahrscheinlich weniger. Es ist klassische schottische Volksmusik und wenn ich das Lied höre stelle ich mir eine Stadt vor die lebhaft ist, historisch und traditionell.
@@onkolonsko egal für die nächste Klasse, die das macht haha
@@onkolonsko danke bist n schatz
I absolutely ❤ bagpipes
Ich auch
I´m originally frae Glesga although am now an exile. I´m so proud that the people of the Dear Green Place voted "Yes" in the Independence referendum. Here´s tae us!
A great song, beautifully performed, about a city that holds almost mythological status in the British consciousness. If only they hadn't tacked on that silly coda from 4.13 onwards - it simply doesn't go with what comes before.
If I can help with some of the lyrics:
First line is: “It was by the clear Molendinar Burn where it meets .... ”
“Cloth to dye and hose to buy ... “ [“hose” in this context = what we’d now call tights]
“And an early grave was his sole reward ... “
I cant hear anything
Cool this song NO GENERATION
not british scottish the uk gov have treated glasgow and all of scotland like shit
SOAR ALBA
YES SCOTLAND
