Manyura Manyah
by Matt McGinn

I've heard men complain o' the jobs that they're dain'
When they're hawkin' the coal or diggin' the drain
But whatever they are, there's none that compar'
Wi' a man that's at shovellin' manyura, manyah!
Wi' manyura manyah, wi' manyura manyah!
Wi' manyura, manyura, manyura manyah!

Oh the streets o' the toon were all kivvered aroon
Wi' stuff that was beautiful gowden and broon
It was put there o' course by a big Clydesdale horse
And its name was manyura, manyura manyah!

I ha' followed its track wi' me shovel and sack
And often as no wi' a pain in me back
It was a' for the rent and the beautiful scent
Of manyura, manyura, manyura manyah!

But I'm feelin' so sore for my job's been took o'er
And everything noo is mechanical power
And there's nought left for me but the sweet memory
Of manyura, manyura, manyura manyah!
