Biography:
As Dave Whitton born 1950 a real Clydesider and singer with the band am afraid cannot be neutral but am open to corrections!
This cover shows one of the "original" lineups with - from the left - John Graham /fiddle
Sandy Kelso/guitar - Duncan McCrone /guitar - Dave Whitton/ mandolin.
All the band were vocalists and generally belonged to the West of Scotland around Glasgow.
As far as I know only my dad was a real Clydeside worker at the shipyards.

Capo 2
VERSE 1
D Bm G D
Cold is the Clyde when the autumn is turning
G D E A7
Cuts to the bone when the wind starts to blow
D Bm G D
Not long to go till the cold watch is over
G D E A7 D
Then will be my turn to sleep down below
A Bm
At home Katie Ann and the girls will be sleeping
G D E A7
Maybe right now they are dreaming of me
D Bm G D
What would I give to be right there beside them
G D E A7 D
How strange when I am that I dream of the sea
CHORUS
D Bm G D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G D E A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D Bm G D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G D E A7 D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
D Bm G A
VERSE 2
D Bm G D
White horses prancing look fine from your window
G D E A7
But somehow their beauty is wasted on me
D Bm G D
For when you're forced to look deep in their dark eyes
G D E A7 D
Concern for your welfare is not what you see
A Bm
The old trawler's mine, now I don't owe a penny
G D E A7
There's only the diesel and pay for the crew
D Bm G D
But my debts to the sea still remain on the ledger
G D E A7 D
And if they're called, what the hell can I do
CHORUS
D Bm G D
For it's all I know the surf and the silver fishes
G D E A7
If I've taken from them, they've taken from me
D Bm G D
And I long for the landing on the key to be standing
G D E A7 D
For I'm weary of dancing to the tune of the sea
REPEAT CHORUS
