Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: How many legs has a haggis
Subject: Lyr Add: THE HAGGIS SONG
The Haggis Song
Away up in the highlands, there is a Haggis farm There's great big hairy gillies to keep them all from harm They stand on guard from morn till night, then from night till morn They tuck them in their little beds to keep their whiskers warm
(Chorus) Oh, how many legs has a Haggis, and how high can it fly Has it got wings and such like things to shove it through the sky? I dearly love to see it, its such a bonny sight Countin' the legs on a Haggis on a braw bricht moon-licht nicht
Now Sassenachs are surely a disbelieving crowd They won't believe a Haggis is a thing of which we're proud We've told them fairy tales, but the one that is absurd Is the way we try to kid them on, a Haggis is a bird.
(Chorus)
We had a Burns Supper, the speaker was in place The great man rose to give forth about the Pudden Race He spoke those well known words and drew his dagger from its pouch He shoved it in up to the hilt, and the Haggis shouted 'ouch'
(Chorus)
They sent for Doctor Findlay to see if he could help It's only when it's wounded that a Haggis gives a yelp An operation then took place, the patient's doing fine They sewed it up and then it sang a verse of 'Auld Lang Syne'
