The Glasgow Drygate Lasses

"The Glasgow Drygate Lasses", a song preserved in a scrapbook entitled Old Glasgow Street Songs etc, 1850 which is held at the Mitchell Library.

This song is about various "braw, bonny lasses" from the Drygate in Townhead. The burn at the foot of the Drygate, referred to in the chorus, is the Molendinar.

Who gars the lads gang crazy, O?
