Ah cannae get ma granny aff the drugs
Oh ah cannae get ma grannie aff the drugs.
She's takin' speed an' jellies,
Stealing people's tellies,
Ah cannae get ma granny aff the drugs.

Chorus: Aye aye yippee etc Ma granny is a hippie, aye aye yippee ippy aye.

Ah cannae get ma granny aff the drugs
Oh ah cannae get ma grannie aff the drugs.
I'm sure she'd pulled a swedgie
She's looking kind of edgy
Chorus: Aye aye yippee etc Ma granny is a hippie, aye aye yippee ippy aye.

Ah cannae get ma granny aff the drugs
Oh ah cannae get ma grannie aff the drugs.
She's taking loads of coppers
And selling loads of poppers.
Chorus: Aye aye yippee etc Ma granny is a hippie, aye aye yippee ippy aye.


Ah cannae get ma granny aff the drugs
Oh ah cannae get ma grannie aff the drugs.
She' stolen all ma hash
and taken all my cash
Chorus: Aye aye yippee etc Ma granny is a hippie, aye aye yippee ippy aye.

I started to type the name into Google, but the surname is Kingstree. Definitely chimney sweep in Castle Douglas!

The 'drugs' version was written by Vincent Kingston, well known singer and chimney sweep of Castle Douglas in Galloway, though not sure how to get in touch with him- yellow pages?

There's a short clip on Youtube of an Alternative Robert Burns' Night, and a ghastly raucous female bawls this out while banging at random on a flat drum thing (bodhran?)

"to the tune of You cannae... [OP]

For which read, of course, "tune of She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain...!"

Credit where it's due, Mikey Joe!...the original tune, I think, is "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain"
