WHAUR WILL WE GANG (Andrew Mitchell) I mind the day when we worked at the drift nets And the Clyde men a' went tae the ring nets sae fine But a' they tried methods hae been overtaken For the sake o' fortune and keeping wi' time Cho: And what will we dae when the Minches are finished What will we dae when the herrin's a' done Whaur will we gang wi' oor pursers and trawlers How will we ever pay off the bank loan Well, there's still some fine shotties o' mackerel off Cornwall So we'll a' head doon south and scrape up what's left there We'll fill the fish hold and we'll no fear the future But soon there'll be mackerel off Cornwall nae mair And what will we dae when the mackerel's a' finished What will we dae when the mackerel's a' done Whaur will we gang etc..... Blue whitin's in season oot there off St. Kilda So we'll rig a deep trawl and we'll a' head oot west Wi' tow after tow that's been landed for fish meal Blue whitin' will go just the same as the rest And what will we dae when blue whitin's a' finished What will we dae when blue whitin's a' done Whaur will we gang etc... (Repeat lst verse) In the verse on blue whiting,the words 'tow after tow', (if you want to impress your friends with your wealth of Scots linguistics!) is pronounced, 'tau' with t he accent on the au.
