Thank you littlewater, someone did give me a version on another forum, more or less the same


'Mah Maw said, Ah should go
Wi mah faither's dinner -o
Mince an totties stew an steak
Wi'a wee bit currant cake

Ah went tae the river, couldny get across
Peyed ten bob fur an auld broken horse
Ah jumped oan its back, its bones gave a crack
Ah waited tae the boat came back

The boat came back, we aw jumped in
The boat capsized an we aw fell in
Singin dont be weary try'n be cheery
Jist play the fiddle till the boat comes back.'

My dad then remembered his version had 'old blind horse'

My dad (b.1935 in Glasgow) had it from his mother (b 1915 Glasgow, 1st gen Irish from Leinster) don't know if that helps with the dates Azizi!
