Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Working Chap
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Working Chap
This is I'm A Working Chap. There's a version in Ord's Bothy Songs And Ballads (with music), as well as in some other Scottish collections.

Chorus in Ord is a little more dialectical:-
    Nae maitter, frien's, whate'er befa',
The puir folks they maun work awa',
Through frost and snaw and rain and wind,
They're working life out to keep life in

I'm a bit under the weather just now, so if no one posts it before I'll post full words and tune tomorrow (Tues).
