Poetry I Wish I Was in Stewarton Here’s my version of the great Billy Connolly song ‘I Wish I was in Glasgow’. Oh, I wish I was in the Bonnet Toun With some good old friends of mine Some good old rough companions And some good old smooth red wine We could talk about the old days And Stewarton’s sad decline And drink to the boys on the road Oh, I was born in Sloan Street In the Whitletts part of Ayr I would take you there and show you But I don’t know if it’s still there And when I think about it It always gets me down We left when I was only 4 and moved to Lothian Road It’s that great old camp I miss so much Though I’ve had much better days But still, we talk about it As we go our separate ways Oh, but Ayrshire gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road My mother, Mary was a cleaner My old man, his name was Sam Was a Massey’s engineer They made me all I am My sister and my brothers, I’ve seen them come and go And still, I give a damn There’s so much to learn along the road And Ayrshire gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road Share this:ShareTwitterFacebook
