A friend in college, forty years now past, sang it thus:

As I was walkin' doon the street, I met wi' Johnny Scobie,
He says "Come awa' lad, hae a dram." I said "Aye man, that's my hobbie."
Chorus as above.
We had a dram and anither dram, and then we had anither.
I got fu' and he got fu' and we wandered hame together.

I've never been really satisfied with the verses. Except for the first and the chorus, nothing else works. This song has a great chorus for group singing, but no depth of verse. let us hope that someone may have more and better additions.

George -- The Overgate is a wonderful bothy song. I got it ages ago from a Jeannie Robertson recording, but wouldn't perform it until I finally figured out all the words she was actually singing.

Mary -- I think the line you're thinking of may be from "A Wee Deoch an Doris" by Harry Lauder.
