Part Two.
And where is the cludgie? that cosy wee cell,
The string fae the cistern. I remember it well.
Where I sat wi caule, and studied the rags,
A win for the auld firm, a loss for the jags,
Where is the tramcar that once done a ton?
Doon Graet Western Road onthe old yoker run,
The conductress aye knew how to deal with the naff,If your gaun,then cumon if yir no weil
gitaff.
I think o' the days o' my tenement hame,
weve got fancy new hooses, but theyre jist no the same,
Ill swap your Gizunder, Flyovers and jams,
fur a tuppenny ride on the old Partick trams,
Gone is the Glesga that I used to know.
Big Wullie wee Shooie, the Steamie, the Co,
The shilpa weebachle, the glaikitbig dreep,
Yir ba on the slates and yir gas on the peep.
These days wurnae rosy, and money was tight,
The wages hauf finished by Setterday night,
But still we came through it and weathered the ruts.
The reason was simple our parents had GUTS.

Um-mm, in a roundabout way I neglected area a million, so i for my area will savor area 2 or am I seeing area a million now and that i purely have not got any clue as to what's being pronounced. It seems to me i'm a clueless loner in this question. I purely comprehend it sounds large to me and it makes me experience like a funky breeze is blowing via my hair and that i will hearken to the sounds of youngsters dancing and going then to get some scones.

I read the 1st part yesterday, thanks for sharing. Although I'm not familiar with the dialect, I enjoyed it immensely. So many of the things we remember and loved are long gone. No matter how our words sound, we feel the same about them in our hearts.

One of the ladies that I sometimes walk the dogs with comes from the old Tenements in Glasgow, she talks just like that.
