Sorry, but this is plagiarism of Jim Brown's song 'Waverley', written in the 1970s. Mentioning 'new verses' to two traditional tunes doesn't cover artistic theft. Why has nobody from Cumbernauld or the Glasgow folk scene not intervened here before?
@@A_metronomes_click I was simply annoyed that the writer of the original song (actually titled "The Waverley Polka"), the late Jim Brown, shipyard worker, was not even mentioned. It was JIM who had the idea of using the Bluebell Polka to write the song; the chorus is all Jim's work. And Jim's text in the verses is much more interesting, as you can hear by clicking on the right to the Clydesiders' version. Credit where credit is due. Check out my book 'Song and Democratic Culture'. Croom Helm/St Martin's Press, reprinted Routledge 2015. There's a whole chapter on Jim Brown.

what? "Sorry, but this is plagiarism of Jim Brown's song 'Waverley', written in the 1970s." makes sense but the rest is where you lose me.
