. . . if it wasnae for the union (old Scottish song)

Union work has been one of the few things that have been giving meaning to my life in the past couple of years, but it hasn't all been bread, roses and joyful shoulder-to-shoulder

Totally off-topic reponse, but would that by any chance be the song that Billy Connolly used as the basis for The Welly Song?

I double-checked on YouTube. The song I had in mind was a lefty song of the 1970s, sung by one Matt McGinn - I also vaguely think there was an even older original, regretting the "Union" of Scotland and England. I listened to the Billy Connolly song and his tune sounded vaguely (vaguely!) similar to McGinn's.
