GUEST,Auldtimer Lyr Req: The Black Watch (29) RE: Lyr Req: The Black Watch 05 May 16


Guest Johnny Yank, this was sang by Ian Manuel and learned by me many years ago, and since forgoten, the last verse as far as I recall went-

Well noo ave go'ten furlo' an tae Dundee toun al' gang
it's thare al' show ma coumrades just hoo tae haun'el a gun
Thay'l tak me out and thay'l staun a treat then al' begin tae blaw
An' they'll think that I'v made sergent in the gallant forty twa

Ye can talk can talk about yer first Royals an' Scotish Fusilers
yer Aberdeen militia an' yer army volunteers
the Sseaforths wae their stripet' kilts the gordons aye sae braw
Man come bring the tartan 'o the gallant forty twa
