Scottish duo, the Alexander Brother`s, Tom & Jack. with one of their favourites, Nobody`s Child. This track is one of 15 on their available CD/DVD, "Song of the Clyde". IF THIS DOES NOT PLAY,SEE VERSION 2.
Aw, this takes me way back to the 1950/60's growing up in Glasgow . My Dad played this on vinyl 45rpm .. along with the likes of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton many more .. and all the auld Irish tunes too .. music that I still love to this day. Music is a gift that we should pass on to our kids the way our folks did with us .. Songs send us back in time + remind us of people and places long gone . 🎸🎼🎸
This brings back fond memories of my grandparents who often played the Alexander Brothers music. I never appreciated the music as a child, but now I do. Memories of a happy time surrounded by people I loved and miss very much to this day. RIP grandparents, I love you.
I first met Tom & Jack 40 yrs over ago when I compered all their shows at The Queensberry Arms Hotel in Annan and it was so much fun , both were true gentlemen and made everyone feel like one big family. How time fly's. We really have lost two of best entertainers ever. I would meet up from time to time through my work at Grampian TV in the 80s and 90s . I listened to a great tribute to them both on BBC Scotland's sat night show Take The Floor . I'm so proud to have met you both and worked with you . Will never forget you both RIP both.
Omg this was the theme tune to my childhood 😢 I listened to this over and over, thankfully I'm now 57, have 4 adult kids and 16 grandchildren so all is good now xxx

It's Remembrance Day 2013. It is with great sadness that I learned today of Jack's passing. We sure miss you Jack and thanks for the memories. Condolences to the his brother Tom and all of the Alexander family.
I have not heard this song in years, my aunt used to sing it when I was a kid living in Scotland and she just passed away a few months ago and I had not seen her in years, but this song reminds me of her. Beautiful song. Miss living in Scotland.
This reminds me of my childhood in rural South Lanarkshire. For 18 blissful years everything about Scotland was good. These kinds of songs, and 2 great football teams - Rangers and Scotland, and I had heard nothing of any others until I went to University in Glasgow. What a shock and different perspective on life that gave!!
fantastic reminds me so much of my parents and grandparents having a wee sing song on a sat night.. and i was on ma granny's knee and she would sing it to me. ah bless great memories, thanks.
My Dear Dad. How he loved this old song.. I remember him singing It.. and humming that of what he could not remember of the rest.. He is resting now.Awaiting for our lord Jesus to one day Hopefully! resurrect him to go home..When this world will be cleansed one day soon.. Very soon. Where we will be His Child forever & Ever! Praise to you Holy Eternal Father in Thy Kingdom.. As we await the return of our Holy Defender Jesus the Christ..
Thanks for the memories Jack I will always remember your passing on 2 and November 2013 it was very sad condolence to brother Tom and all the Alexander family God Bless xx
I can't help but think after all the years that thus sing was sung,that it would touch a chord and heartstrings to the listener and fan of The Alexander Brothers.
I come from the older generation .I remember well my dear grandmother singing this old song.. I had been searching the net for some time seeking out who knew how to sing this song in its correct key etc... I must say these men HIT! it right on! My Poor Dad .oh!!! diid he love this song.. He to sang it quite often.. ohh! How I miss them.. Im 59 now but! as a kid I remember my dads family singing many of the oldies while drinking beer lol!!. They were so popular back then too lol! lelacheur j.
Beautiful lyrics, accordion and voice. One of their best. I met them over a wee dram or two and saw them perform in and around Edinburgh. Memories cherished and never to be forgotten. Happy past Anniversary Auntie Mary and Uncle Bob.xx
What wonderful, peaceful memories come to mind upon hearing this song! I remember the lads coming to Ottawa, Canada many times when I was younger... so many happy times come back to bring a smile to my face! RIP Jack and thanks to the two of you lads for bringing so many wonderful moments of enjoyment through the years. Your music continues to uplift, sooth a troubled heart and encourage.
The song and its spirit have become stuck in me permanently--at least as long as I live. May be the spirit will show me the rest of the way when I leave my body.
R.I.P Jack. Best neighbour anyone could ask for. I still remember. All your kind word's from when i was a boy to a young man. I'm sure we will meet again brother. This i know. Sorry i was not there. Forgive me for that. But Thailand is learning of Scots music! Take care my friend. And travel well. C.G .Elliott
Hi Craig. With Lil's help, I'm writing Jack's biography. With Tom incapacitated and so many of his cronies gone, you can appreciate it's not easy. If you could share sone stories, I'd appreciate it. Thx
joan watt... Like you Joan I was brought up listening to the Alexander brothers. Their songs remind me of my childhood days. Felt sad when Jack passed away. Whenever I'm visiting the cemetery, I always stop at Jack's final resting place for a moment and thank him for his wonderful music.
Hi Steven. With Lil's help I am writing Jack's biography. If you could share your experience I'd appreciate it. With Tom incapacitated and so many of his cronies gone, it's not easy to pice hi life together with human touches. Facts are dry. Thx
