lirik lagu the ghosts of red clyde – alistair hulett and dave swarbrick
[verse 1]
dreech was the weather and sad was the hour
when johnny was lifted on shooders sae stour
oot fae the hoose where he sickened and died
wi’ agnes his love greetin’ at the bedside
and the thoosans that turned oot tae welcome him hame
gaithered roon noo tae honour his name
there was maxton and kirkwood, gallacher too
mcshane and macdougall tae name but a few
they carried his coffin draped owеr wi’ red
the flag that recalls a’ wor ain martyrеd dead
it’s goodbye noo johnny, fareweel maclean
the pride o’ red clydeside is gaen
[chorus]
ye can sandblast a century of coal dust and tears
from the face of a city spruced up and gentrified
still on the north wind that blaws doon the years
come the howls and the cries of the ghosts of red clyde
[verse 2]
in duke street near parkheid they chained up maclean
but oot o’ the gorbals came harry mcshane
in govan and partick the rent strike was won
young women in neilston amazed everyone
when they said sleepy scotland is sleepy nae mair
we’ll rise up noo and fight for oor share
[chorus]
ye can sandblast a century of coal dust and tears
from the face of a city spruced up and gentrified
still on the north wind that blaws doon the years
come the howls and the cries of the ghosts of red clyde
[verse 3]
here’s bath street and langside where the meetin’s were held
here’s saint andrew’s hall where the workers near k!lled
lloyd george for suggestin’ the men o’ wor toon
should die in a trench so some haughty buffoon
can lie back in style wi’ a smile on his face
tae watch others troop aff in his place
[chorus]
ye can sandblast a century of coal dust and tears
from the face of a city spruced up and gentrified
still on the north wind that blaws doon the years
come the howls and the cries of the ghosts of red clyde
[verse 4]
and this is george square where they battered us doon
it was workers wi’ bricks against weel armed dragoons
red clyde went doon in a welter of blood
oor scots revolution was nipped in the bud
but the ghosts of red clyde pit a light in oor eyes
tae guide us the next time we rise
[outro]
at the end of a century of carnage and fear
the vision continues and won’t be denied
from beijing to seattle, dounray to algiers
rebuild and fight on cry the ghosts of red clyde
all doon the years
