A WEE DEOCH AN' DORIS by Harry Lauder c.1912

Here is an early Harry Lauder tune performed by him about 1912. Recorded before he became Sir Harry Lauder in 1919. A fun Scottish tune. Recorded on a 12 inch single sided 78 rpm record. Enjoy!

I am now 80 plus. My grandfather, Robt. Goudie, was Scottish. When he came to visit, his daughter, & grands, he would sing this to us. He was a great, loving man❤❤❤

My dad had this 78 record when I was young, and we'd sing along with great enthusiasm! Memories of the song came flooding back tonight when I saw the new moon. I said to my wife "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht, the nicht." (She needed a translation 😆) The extended family would gather at Hogmanay and have a wonderful time singing Harry Lauder's songs. I treasured those times when my family travelled to be with my aunts and uncles and cousins.

Oh my! The last time I heard this song I couldn't have been more than 15, and I'm now just shy of 72. Don't know who might have sung it to me. This recording is superb - I can understand every word. Why did I think of "Ye can say it's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht" this morning just after I woke up I could not tell you either. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hearts to hearts and hands to hands,
Beneath the blue and white we stand,
We shout, God bless our native land,
North Melbourne, North Melbourne.
Out we come, out we come, out we come to play,
Just for recreation’s sake, to pass the time away,
Lots of fun, heaps of fun, enjoy yourself today,
North Melbourne boys/girls are hard to beat when they come out to play.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all,
Join in the chorus, North Melbourne's on the ball,
Good old North Melbourne, they're champions you'll agree,
North Melbourne is the team that plays to win for you and me.

It was a fun tune. I remember my grandfather singing it. Some irony, he told me his outfit was singing it on there way to the horror of Vimy in 17.

Thank you for this! I was at glasgow international airport at a pub called A Wee Deoch an Doris just before the boarding gates. Now I understand!

Sir Harry was one in a million! I got my first 78 of him singing "The Wee Hoose Mang The Heather" in 1967!!

[@DrKincade]

Lovely!
I play both piano accordion & B/C/C# button box and Sir Harry's songs are always very well appreciated wherever I play, even 100 years on!

Scottish people have a little motor in their mouth that rumbles when they speak. That's what makes that silly sound
