Subject: re Ewan McVicar---Maggie Cockabendie
I have been trying to find the words of this song to no avail, but I came accross you request. These are the words as I know them, don't know if they are correct or not.
Maggie Cockabendie is a lass that I admire,
Compection fair wi' ginger hair
She sets my heart on fire.
Oh Maggie tak's the cookie
And Maggie tak's the bun
I think i'll gi'e her beardie on the staihead jist for fun.
She's ma peerie weerie winkle,
Ma jeely and ma jam,
Ma fairy an' canary,
Ma daisy an' ma lamb.
She's ma bonnie bunch o' sourocks
Ma laughin' cockatoo,
An' I'm Maggie's cockabendie too-ra loo-ra loo.
They say that Maggie's got me
In a little bit o' twine,
They say when Maggie mairries me
She'l mak' me toe the line.
But Maggie's no' a lass like that,
She's modest and she's shy.
And I'm Maggie's Cockabendie, too-ra loo-ra lye.
(repeat from---"She's ma peerie---too-ra loo-ra loo ".)
