THEY SENT A WUMMAN
(Nancy Nicolson)

Ah sent for the doctor, Ah telephoned the day
The doctor wis an affa time a-comin
Ah sent for the doctor, bit sorry for tae say
A doctor never came, they sent a wumman
But Ah let her make me better
Then Ah asked her could she no get intae nursin
Ah sent for the doctor, bit when she went away
Ah couldnae understan why she wis cursin
 
Ah sent for the pilot, Ah telephoned the day
The pilot wis an affa time a-comin
Ah sent for the doctor, bit sorry for tae say
A pilot never came, they sent a wumman
But she roared off an she soared off
Then in she came an made a perfect landin
Bit why she simply widnae juist hae been an air hostess
Ah've got tae say is past ma understandin
 
Ah sent for the polis, Ah telephoned the day
The polis wis an affa time a-comin
Ah sent for the polis, bit sorry for tae say
A polis never came, they sent a wumman
But she nabbed the boy that grabbed the
Payroll fae the office in the High Street
But still Ah felt she should be telt it's no lassie's job
Ah widnae wint her on the beat in my street
 
Ah sent for the fairmer, Ah telephoned the day
The fairmer wis an affa time a-comin
Ah sent for the fairmer, bit sorry for tae say
A fairmer never came, they sent a wumman
Bit her coos were an her soos were
The very best, the top of a' the biddin
An a' Ah did wis ask her hed her faither steyed at hame
The next Ah kent wis Ah wis in the midden
 
So Ah prayed til God Almichty, Ah prayed til him the day
The guid Lord wis an affa time a-comin
Ah prayed til God Almichty, an Glori-Glori-Ay
The Great Almichty came, she wis a wumman
An she viewed me, She How-d'ye-do-ed me
Said, Ma lad, ye willne listen, ye're no learnin
So here's a little lesson, boy, ye're comin back again
An this time as a wumman ye're returnin
