lyrics

Bob Douglas o’ Scone

Verse 1
From where there came kings
There came a young man
Took a ship to US shores
With his brother Charles
He set his sights on opening up many doors

Refrain 1
In this brand new world
Fruit was abundant
Winter came and it was gone
Fruit preserving was the answer to it
But many times it did go wrong

Verse 2
Young Bob got a patent for his pectin Sold it to the factories
Then he set his sights on the home market
Housewives filled their pantrys

Bridge
But his product never had a name Till Margaret called it Certo
And the rest is history as we know
Bob Douglas King of Jam from Scone

Verse 3
As a young lad Bob was taught the jam trade
His father schooled him in the fruits
Later on Bob made himself a fortune Never did forget his roots

Refrain 2
At his life’s end he did make a will To see his village right
So he left to Scone 5 million dollars To cast a ray of civic light

Solo Verse 1 Bridge Intro
