Biography:
Malinky is a Scottish folk band specialising in Scots song.
Formed in autumn 1998, the original members were Karine Polwart from Banknock, Stirlingshire (vocals, guitar, bouzouki), Steve Byrne from Arbroath (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin), Mark Dunlop from Garryduff, Co. Antrim (bodhrán, whistles, vocals) and English fiddler Kit Patterson.
First meeting to rehearse in early October that year, the band was largely formed to help Polwart fulfil a support slot at Edinburgh Folk Club some ten days later

[Intro]
C G/B F G x2
[Verse]
C G
I was born in the shadow of the Fairfield crane
C
Where the blast o' a freighter's horn
G C
Was the very first sound that reached my ears
F G
On the morning I was born
F
I lay and I listened tae the shipyard sound
C
Coming out of the unknown
G C
And was lulled to sleep by the mother tongue
F G
That was to be my own
[Instrumental]
C G/B F G x2
[Verse]
C G
But before I grew tae be one year old
C
I heard the sirens scream
G C
As a city watched in the blacked-out night
F G
A wandering searchlight beam
F
And then at last I awoke and rose
C
Tae my first day of peace
G C
For I'd learned that the battle to stay alive
F G
Was never going tae cease
[Instrumental]
C G/B F G x2
[Verse]
C G
I sat and I listened tae my father tell
C
Of the days that he once knew
G C
When ye either sweated for a measly wage
F G
Or ye joined the parish queue
F
As times grew harder day by day
C
Along the riverside
G C
I oftimes heard my mother say
F G
"It was tears that made the Clyde"
[Instrumental]
C G/B F G x2
[Verse]
C G
Now I've sat in the school frae nine tae four
C
And I've dreamed of the world outside
G C
Where the riveters and the platers watch
F G
Their ships slip tae the Clyde
F
I've served ma time behind the shipyard gates
C
And I've sometimes mourned my lot
G C
But if any man tries tae mess me about
F G
I will fight like my father fought
