And here’s another golden oldie: ‘Ye canny spend a dollar when yer deid!’ from The Eskimo Republic, featuring Jimmy Ross, someone whose name I’ve forgotten, the late great Bobby Campbell and Enoch Kent (who seems to have recovered his voice). The latter two, with Gordon McCulloch, constituted the 1960s folk group, ‘The Exiles’. christiebooks/ChristieBooksWP/2010/07/freedom-come-all-ye-the-exiles-enoch-kent-bobby-campbell-gordon-mcculloch/ DING DONG DOLLAR O ye canny spend a dollar when yere deid, O ye canny spend a dollar when yere deid: Singin Ding Dong Dollar, everybody holler, Ye canny spend a dollar when yere deid. O the Yanks have juist drapt anchor in Dunoon An theyve had their civic welcome fae the toon, As they cam up the measured mile, Bonnie Mary o Argyll Wis wearin spangled drawers ablow her goun. Oh the Clyde is sure to prosper now theyre here, For theyre chargin wan and ten pence furra beer An when ye want a taxi, they stick it up their - jersey An charge ye thirty bob tae Sandbank Pier. But the Glesca Moderator disnae mind; In fact, he thinks the Yanks are awfy kind, For if its heaven that yere goin, its a quicker way than rowin, An theres sure tae be naebody left behind. Final chorus O ye canny spend a dollar when yere deid, Sae tell Kennedy hes got tae keep the heid, Singin Ding Dong Dollar, everybody holler Ye canny spend a dollar when yere deid.
