I'll always love you, Jim - you were my role model, my imaginary best friend, my pretend big brother. Thank you for the music, the laughs, the memories. Maybe I'll finally get to meet you when I leave this world behind - until then, RIP, big guy.
Love this old Scottish song, Jimmy,s mum was Maggie and my wife is Maggie from Aberdeen ,Scotland. Jimmy was my pal in Sydenham,Belfast in the earil 50,s ,great guy ,sad he passed so young.
This is a beautiful song. I honestly don't think I've ever heard it before I saw this video and I have several of the Rover's CD's. Jimmy had such a beautiful voice and a great sense of humor, I still miss him.
I sooo seriously miss Jimmy! He was a great guy; always made me laugh and he was so funny in person. I remember going backstage after the yearly shows in Flint MI. My dad had a big round tum just like Jim and we had a good laugh when Jimmy started comparing the two! ;) Thank you for posting this. It's always nice to hear him slow it down and be serious once in a while. Hope you're still singing up there, Jim!
I have a similar memory in Syracuse NY on the 25th anniversary I left my fiancée behind to make the show and they wrote a special note to her of apology , it did not have the effect Id hoped for but my daughter has it framed in her home today . he and Wil were a class act. MAY THE ROAD RISE
Thank you for posting. Jimmy was always my "favorite" rover, but then they were *all* favorites!! Loved his voice and sense of humor, too...especially the banter live in concerts!!
When people ask us why we named our daughter "Maggie", I suggest they listen to this song! A superb rendition by Jimmy Ferguson, who definitively left us too soon!
My favorite song, we sang it all the time in the 30's for my Irish mother loved it. Her family were from the Famine of 1825, County Cork - I am not sure it is Scottish.

This was my dad's favourite version of this song. Thanks for posting it - Dad's been gone for ten years now, but it brings back memories.
brings goose bumps to me xx
I grew up watching this with my nana I wish I can finding the dvd or the full video
RIP Jim
Brilliant. If anyone knows a YT posting for Ferguson's definitive version of Lorena, please direct us all to it.

+John Gray fine memories

I love this song but how come someone came along and changed the name of the song to "Norah"? It's the exact same song!
