THE WEDDIN' O' SANDY MACNAB
By Harry Lauder
London : Francis, Day and Hunter, ©1908.
As sung by Harry Lauder

I'm on ma way hame frae a marriage.
It's been a splendicious affair.
Of course I went there in a carriage,
In a beautiful carriage an' pair.
Sandy McNab was the bridegroom,
And the bride was a bonnie wee lamb.
Oh, a nice curly hair an' complexion
Redder than strawberry jam.

CHORUS: And the weddin bells were ringin'.
All the boys were singin'.
"Here's to you and yours an' me an' mine, ta-ra-ra"
Then we had a drappie,
Just tae make us happy
For the days o' auld lang syne.


[This song, or at least the wedding it describes, was mentioned in MACGREGOR'S TOAST—see above.]
