The Whistlin' Donkeys were in Scotland a few weeks ago. Playing gigs in both Edinburgh and Glasgow for the first time since the band started over seven years ago!
Thank you to everyone who came out to see us either in Edinburgh or Glasgow! We really appreciate the support and were blown away by the reception we received at both venues.
We will be working hard now to get back to Scotland next year and make the gigs even bigger and better than before! Watch this space folks!

LYRICS to "Beeswing" I was nineteen when I came to town, they called it the Summer of Love They were burning babies, burning flags, the hawks against the doves I took a job in the steamie down on Cauldrum Street And I fell in love with a laundry girl who was working next to me Brown hair zig-zagged across her face and a look of half-surprise Like a fox caught in the headlights, there was animal in her eyes She said "Oh man, oh can't you see I'm not the factory kind If you don't take me out of here I'll lose my mind." Chorus: She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine, in fact, the wind might blow her away She was a lost child, she was running wild She said "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay. You wouldn't want me any other way." We busked around the market towns, we picked fruit down in Kent And we could tinker pots and pans and knives wherever we went We were camping down the Gower one time, and the work was mighty good She wouldn't stay for the harvest, I thought we should. And I asked her if we might settle down, get a few acres dug With the fire burning on the hearth and babies on the rug She said "Oh man, you foolish man, that surely sounds like hell. You might be lord of half the world, but you won't own me as well." Chorus: She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, oh she was running wild She said "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay. You wouldn't want me any other way." We were drinking more in them days and tempers reached a pitch And like a fool I let her run with the rambling itch Oh the last I heard she's sleeping rough back on the Derby beat With a bottle of wine in her pocket and a wolfhound at her feet And they say she even married once, to a man called Romany Brown But even a gypsy caravan was too much like settling down And they say her flower is faded, hard weather and hard booze But maybe that's the change you get for the life that you refuse. Chorus: She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing I love her more than all the words could say If I could just taste all of her wildness now If I could hold her in my arms today I wouldn't want her any other way. She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine, in fact, the wind might blow her away She was a lost child, oh she was running wild She said "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay. You wouldn't want me any other way." Songwriters: Richard John Thompson Beeswing lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

No they're not all correct,Richard Thompson certainly never sings "....but maybe that's the change you get for the life that you refuse..."

@@brianmckeever1916 You are correct! Just listened to Richard Thompson singing Bees Wing and his words were “Maybe that’s the price you pay for the chains you refuse.”
