I love Scottish folksy tunes. Man technology is amazing, if not for Pandora I'd never discovered this song and many others like it. I was raised on hip-hop, R&B, and Classical. Now I have a new musical love to add to the collection. All smiles.
I also heard this on Pandora and almost forgot what it was and was so sad to never hear it again until I remembered "Whaur will we gang" and decided to try to look it up despite not knowing the exact spelling. Luckily, Google understands. Such a cute and honest love song.
Celtic connections on NPR was how I first heard them, and many others like late rusby and nic Jones. But Bryan kelso crow is no longer with us to bring us that show. R.i.p. Bryan. Pandora was great, but RUclips is where I can actually find all of them without fail. No one else has that...
Last verse We maun take the maist and least Feast or famine tae oor breist Whether we go West nor East Matters nocht tae me The world stretches far and wide And I don't care whaur we bide As long as you are by my side Happy we will be Chorus x4
First Verse: We could walk along the Seine Paris in the April rain Say the magic words "Je t'aime" Monsieur and Madame I hear what you're sayin' flower Love below the Eiffel Tower But I get crabbit in a shower It's just the way I am Chorus
Third Verse: Maybe we are gonna Get married in Verona You can be my Romeo And I'll be Juliet It didnae turn oot awfy well They never heard their wedding bells For they're the pair that kilt theirsels Gonnae no' dae that! Chorus then instrumental
Second Verse: Let's go tae some Polynesian Island Where it's never freezin' Lovers wed there every season By the coral sea But I'm a' peely-wally white And my bikini's gettin' tight And you are no' a bonny sight In trunks a size too wee. Chorus
Bekki Bearheart I think this might have been the only album they recorded while she was with them (Jennifer Burdoo was right to describe it as a "relatively brief" period).
Her name is Karine Polwart and she is a fine songwriter. She has recorded some albums of her own.She also sang for a time with the band Scottish band Malinky, and recorded a number of songs on a multi-CD collection of Robert Burns songs.
I’ve also seen the the song attributed to Polwart/Reid. I went to buy a ticket to see Malinky once, met Karine Polwart on the way in - who said it was her last concert with them and the tickets were sold out. I was so disappointed..

Quality content
Every time I hear it it makes me chuckle.
Can't everyone put out such banger content as mine, can they? 😅🤭

Very sweet and romantic indeed!
Last verse
We maun take the maist and least
Feast or famine tae oor breist
Whether we go West nor East
Matters nocht tae me
The world stretches far and wide
And I don't care whaur we bide
As long as you are by my side
Happy we will be
Chorus x4
Chorus:
Ee-oh ma dearie-o, whaur will we tarry-o
If we are tae marry-o, whaur will we gang?
First Verse:
We could walk along the Seine
Paris in the April rain
Say the magic words "Je t'aime"
Monsieur and Madame
I hear what you're sayin' flower
Love below the Eiffel Tower
But I get crabbit in a shower
It's just the way I am
Chorus
Third Verse:
Maybe we are gonna
Get married in Verona
You can be my Romeo
And I'll be Juliet
It didnae turn oot awfy well
They never heard their wedding bells
For they're the pair that kilt theirsels
Gonnae no' dae that!
Chorus then instrumental
Second Verse:
Let's go tae some Polynesian Island
Where it's never freezin'
Lovers wed there every season
By the coral sea
But I'm a' peely-wally white
And my bikini's gettin' tight
And you are no' a bonny sight
In trunks a size too wee.
Chorus
TheNavypiccolo best part
Brilliant
Wholesome
This was the best album.

:)
Love this. Do you have a link for where we can support them or purchase their music?
@PistonHonda319 I was very upset to not find a preexisting version around here, myself! Glad to help. ^^
does anyone have the lyrics to this song or know where I can find them? I've been looking but keep finding a different song by this same name. Thanks!
Anyone know the line-up on this song? who's the female vocalist?
The singer is Karine Polwart, who is well known as a solo singer in addition to her relatively brief work with the Battlefield Band.
Jennifer Burdoo I thought it might be Karine-- but had no idea she sang with BB. Thanks!
