Biografía:
The Corries were a Scottish folk group which emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group went through several changes of line-up in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson (1936 - 1990) and Ronnie Browne that it is best known. The early 1970s were the Corries' finest hour.
In 1962, Roy Williamson teamed up with Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn to form the "Corrie Folk Trio". Their first performance was in the Waverley Bar in St Mary's Street, Edinburgh.

The loo song
[Verse]
G C
I was born in Arkansas, me mammy was a squaw,
G D
pappy hailed from Timbuktu,
G C
there’s one thing I recall that I hated most of all,
G D G
was that little green shed, our loo.
C G
It had a Cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth,
G D
hinges all rusting and corroding,
G C
‘twas a ghastly shade of green, the worst you’ve ever seen,
G D G
it stood there at the bottom of the garden.
[Verse]
G C
Well, one day when I was six, I was chopping at some sticks,
G D
when a nasty little gleam came to my eye,
G C
I ran down to the john and shoved it off the lawn
G D G
into the river flowing gently by.
[Verse]
G C
Soon my Pappy called my name, he yelled "Hey, what's ya game ?"
G D
Why did you shove our privy in the drink ?
G C
Well, then I shook with fear and shed a little tear,
G D G
I said, it wasn’t me, I didn’t think.
[Verse]
G C
Then my Pappy told to me, how George Washington felled the tree,
G D
then he went and owned up straight away.
G C
And because he told the truth, that honest youth foresooth,
G D G
his Pappy didn’t punish him that day.
[Verse]
G C
Well, me being a little green, I thought I'd best come clean,
G D
so I told my Pappy how I sank that shack.
G C
Well, with a rebel cry of glee he hauled me o’er his knee,
G D G
proceeded to wop me blue and black.
[Verse]
C G
It had a Cedar shingle roof, I swear that was the truth,
G D
hinges all rusting and corroding,
G C
‘twas a ghastly shade of green, the worst you’ve ever seen,
G D G
it stood there at the bottom of the garden.
[Verse]
G C
Since I hadn’t told a lie, I asked my Pappy, why ?
G D
He sat there and he answered with a frown.
G C
Well, George Washington’s pappy, he, wasn’t sitting in the tree,
G D G C G
when that little bastard went and chopped it down.
