woolymonkeyThe way I heard it, "Oor Hamlet" was written after a teacher at a songwriting workshop claimed you should be able to tell any story in 3 verses. Mind you, they are quite long verses.
I have loved it since I first heard Martin Carthy perform it and spent years tracking it down to an obscure recording on cassette that I had to order from Our Price and wait three weeks for. Now I've just found 5 different versions on Teh Interweb for free!
Adam McNaughton singing "Oor Hamlet" Completely worksafe if you don't mind funny looks.
The words - which you will need unless you spend a lot of time around Glaswegians.
Enjoy!
