First heard "Hey Ca' Through" in this medley by Five Hand Reel (1976). They were a great but short-lived Scottish folk-rock band.
If the links don't work, search YouTube for "Both Sides of The Forth/ Five Hand Reel." "Hey Ca' Through" is at 30 seconds.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
Lomax, Alan, The Land where The Blues Began, NY: Pantheon, 1993, p.14.
Okay, thank you. Very nice and a little like a deja vu.
I first heard it from Andy M. Stewart.
Funny how a brain works. I sang this in our band over ten years ago and the words are still in my mind.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946

Ranald, thanks for the posting of Five Hand Reel. It brings back so many great memories of the old Cornkister songs of the north-east, epecially the opening one - McGinty's Meal an' Ale - "They were howlin' in the kitchen like a caravan o' tinkies..."etc. An Aberdonian colleague of mine always entertained us with those great songs in the Doric dialect when a few drams had been taken! Macfarlane o' The Sproats, Barnyards o' Delgaty ". We still play them as instrumental sets.
