Strathbrock Cross Song Lyrics

Written By Peter Duffy
The cross is the cross roads in the main street of the town and Strathbrock is the area which the town of Broxburn sits. Both area and town get their names from the badger. Strathbrock meaning the valley of the Badger and Broxburn meaning Badger living by the burn or stream. The song is about the people of Broxburn past and present and the people moving in from the citys and other countries and also the people that were brought up in Broxburn and have now moved away. 
The town is Broxburn in West Lothian,Scotland and although its not Irish the town was built by Irish imigrants working in the shale mines digging for oil in the early 1900s. Too this day most of the town has Irish links
