The Dundee Weaver as I know it although it may need some judicious editing :) THE DUNDEE WEAVER Noo I'm a Dundee weaver And I come fae bonny Dundee I met a Glesca fella And he cam' courting me He took me oot a walking Doon by the Broomielaw And there the dirty we rascal stole Ma thingamajig awa' And there the dirty we rascal stole Ma thingamajig awa' He took me oot a-walking Doon by the Ruchin Glen He showed tae me the bonny wee birds He showed me a bonny wee hen He showed tae me the bonny birds Frae a linnet tae a craw He showed tae me the bird that stole Ma thingamajig awa' He showed tae me the bird that stole Ma thingamajig awa' Oh! I'll go back tae Dundee Looking bonny, fresh & fair I'll pit oan ma bonny blue shawl And I'll tie up ma bonny broon hair And I'll pit oan ma corsets Tae mak' ma body look sma' And whae will tell frae ma rosy cheeks Ma thingamajig's awa And whae will tell frae ma rosy cheeks Ma thingamajig's awa So come a' ye Dundee weavers And tak' this advice fae me Never let a fella An inch above yer knee Never stand at the tap o' a close Wi' yer erse against a wa' For if ye dae, ye can safely say Yer thingamajig's awa' For if ye dae, ye can safely say Yer thingamajig's awa'
