I've known several singers who've written an extra verse or an alternate verse or a whole set of lyrics for an existing tune, and they are uniformly _excellent._ I wish more musicians took up the challenge :)
+EarthMatrix1 Hi there, I have the feeling it is not Jim Malcolm singing The Cruel Sister/The two sisters, it sounds different, doesn't it? Although a bit similar, like a younger Jim Malcolm :-)
It's a lee! it's a black Irish lee! Ilka body kens that the Hibernian rascals aye claim onything they like as belonging tae them. Flowers of Edenborough refers to the braw lasses pleasuring your een on the streets of Auld Reekie.
Flowers of Edinburgh belongs to a family of tunes known as "False Knight" tunes. Some are Irish, some English, some, aye, Scots, and (dare I say it) some American,, but they all have a very similar structure.
Many years ago (early 70s) I heard a song called The False Knight. It was sung to this tune. I vaguely remember a line, "said the False Knight to the child on the road" . Do you know of this song or who may have recorded it back then?

Brilliant rendition and song Jim. Thanks for that!

Awesome playing and singing disguised with a touch of comedy.

Saludos desde la Argentina.
Liked this video of Jim Malcolm playing guitar and harmonica, but first I watched a video of him only playing guitar.
Great to see you Jim
See you Sat night at Steves Live music! Love this tune!
This song has lyrics? Wow!!! I've only heard it as an instrumental.
Traditionally it's instrumental, but Jim Malcolm wrote his own lyrics

Further indication of its Scottish ancestry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_of_Edinburgh
Damn! I can't touch my harmonica anymore...
I knew it before that scottish can sing really well, now I know they have very good humour also :)
can someone give me the lyrics they are hard for me to follow.
Any of you ever heard of Tony Mitchell from Edinburgh?
Is this the guy who sang the main vocal on The Two Sisters on close to the bone by OBD?

Mon' the Hibs
add to the humor by setting English captions (o'clock newman!)
you need to do some research, its a Scottish tune just done as a horne pipe in Ireland. nothing irish about it
The comic performance distracts the listener from noticing the musicianship.
There ain't a better harp / guitar / vocalist out there.
