Ha, ha. Thanks for posting that, I really enjoyed it. I am actually familiar with the song (poem?) and although I can’t seem to find it right now I’m pretty sure I have a recording of it somewhere in my collection, albeit by a different artist.
While using Google to try to work out who recorded ‘my’ version I discovered that “Captain Hamish Blair” was in fact an alias of Andrew James Fraser Blair, a Scottish journalist and sci-fi author who died in 1935 meaning “Bloody Orkney” must pre-date WWII.
