Loudoun Hall has been here since the 16th century
They think it may have been built in 1513
Built with rubble and slate, it’s as high as three stories
500 years it’s stood tall, Loudoun Hall
Back then there wasn’t a toilet, people shouted ‘Gardy Loo’
Into the Boat Vennel, their waste is what they threw
Be careful not to get any on your head, you better move
I’m glad they’ve got a loo inside Loudoun Hall now
There’s merchants and there’s sheriffs who lived at Loudoun Hall
The dwelling of James Tait and then Sir Hugh Campbell
There was even folk music played here an’ all
Folky folk came to listen at Loudoun Hall
It was known to host the members of The Ayr Folk Club
There were banjos and fiddles and even some drums
Back then Billy Connolly played in The Humblebums
Everyone and their mum danced at Loudoun Hall
Now the Ayr Phoenix Folk Club is on Academy St.
Risen from the ashes to nurture the folk community
But people still remember the 60s/70s scene
When they played for love and peace at Loudoun Hall
Loudoun Hall has been here since the 16th century
They think it may have been built in 1513
Built with rubble and slate, it’s as high as three stories
For many more years it’ll stand, Loudoun Hall
