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

Could someone post the words? I'd love to host a caelie (unsure of the Gaelic spelling) for my mum's side , but I can't hear all of the words. I'm hungry now though :)

I remember singing this back when I was a kid....also got to see the Singing Kettle perform it live...totally awesome.
Amen! I *loved* this song from the first time I heard it on telly - it became my party piece!
matt McGinn is the man. lol. his music always reminds me of my childhood and my kids will know it too lol.
No just pieces, we used to shout up for money for the icey then try to catch it, I'm surprised none of us got injured or killed. x :)
This was one of my favourite songs to listen to and sing to ever since I was in primary school!
Cheers for this ,bigmanio. I was one of those weans who "emigrated" up to Castlemilk.

I never understand why Scottish performers sing in such a broad Scottish accent that I can't understand it. I'm sure this song might be interesting, but I just can't be bothered.

Perhaps they don't want English people to listen to them. I don't have a problem with Billy Connelly, or the Proclaimers; I think they tone it down a bit in order to communicate properly.
i dont see you point are you trying to say lets wipe out accents all together and have no individuality
written by Adam Macnaughton for the record.
