"Up & Waur Them A'" is the second song in this medley by Anne Lederman and Ian Bell. From the lp "Scatter The Ashes" by Muddy York, 1984
I found this song many years ago in the pages of one of William Lyon Mackenzie’s newspapers (The Colonial Advocate I think) It was sent to the paper as “fan mail” by an anonymous supporter in Hawkesbury, along the Ottawa River.
It is based on a well-known older Scottish Jacobite song of the same name. I adapted that tune for the arrangement that appears on the Muddy York album.
