Songs for Subcrawls 4:
The Underground Song
We were first made aware of the existence of this song when we ran into the 7.05 Club
during a subcrawl. We don't know who wrote it, but believe that
it was often performed by Francie & Josie, alias Jack Milroy and the late Rikki Fulton. They (the 7.05 Club, not Francie
& Josie - we haven't gone all RentaGhost on you) promised to send us the words.
And they did - eventually. Cheers, guys! We will henceforth be singing this
on all our future "outings", at least until someone gets fed up and it all kicks off...

Chorus: There’s Partick Cross and Cessnock, Hillhead
and Merkland Street,
George’s Cross and Govan Cross where all the people meet
West Street, Shields Road, the train goes round and round
You’ve never lived unless you’ve been on The Glasgow Underground.

They tell me that Majorca is a dandy place to be Or Switzerland or Italy or even Gay Paree, There’s many lovely beauty spots upon the Clyde of Firth But I would rather always travel doon below the earth.

| There’s names that ring like magic that can thrill you through and through They seem to call you back wi’ an enchantment never knew There’s places far away are like a song that’s sweetly sung You’ll roll them round your mooth and feel them slidin’ aff yer tongue.

| I never liked the stourie
winds, the showers or the snaw, The sun can get too burny and the sleet’s no nice at a’ But I don’t mind the climate now as on my way I go The dolce vita’s waiting there a hundred feet below.
