GLASGOW TOWN Tae Glasgow town I came one night Tae spend my penny fee A bonny wee lass, she did consent Tae bear me company Tum a high, tum a do, tum a high, tum a day Tum a high, tum a do, tum a high, tum a day We wandered up Jamaica street And doon the Broomielaw Where organ lads were playin' Aye and fiddlers one and twa We went into an ale house And I called for some gin And all the lads and lassies there They smiled as we came in We had nae been a half an hour When in come half a score Of sailor lads and queens sae braw Ye never saw before They drank my malt, they drank my gin They drank it all sae free And 'ilka one, aye drank a health Tae the bonnie wee lass and me The night it passed, wi' mirth and sang Till day at length cam near And then the sailor's factor cried All hands on deck appear The lassies gie'd a parting kiss The lads, they said goodbye The last one as he went out Said Jock you've all to pay They took my watch, they took my chain My spluken and my knife A wonder that they did nae take My wee bit spark a' life I came into this world a bairn Sae naked and sae bare I went out that way from Glasgow And I'll never gang nae mair @Scottish filename[ GLASGWTN BR |
