Subject: Lyr Add: FALLADAY? / FALLALDY (The Corries)
From: GUEST

What are the lyrics for the chorus of 'Falladay' by the Corries? This is a Youtube link to the song: It is sung to a popular bagpipe tune called 'The Cock of the North'.
I mainly have trouble with the first line of the chorus, and as for the rest, I am somewhat sure about.
It's mainly the accent I can't make out, though I did try to write what I heard. This was what I believe was sung:

VERSE 1:
Maybe yer thinkin' the Corries are rotten,
Maybe yer thinkin' they're great.
We dinnae care; ye can think what ye like,
As long as ye paid for your seat.

CHORUS:
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! ________
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! Up the leg o' your drawers.

VERSE 2:
Maybe yer thinking that Roy is handsome,
Maybe yer thinking he's not.
But take it from me ye can take it for nothing,
He's really a drunken old sot.

CHORUS
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! ________
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! Up the leg o' your drawers.

VERSE 3:
Maybe yer thinking that Ronnie's athletic,
Maybe yer thinking he's fat.
Ronnie's the faither o' seventeen children,
What are ye thinking o' that?

CHORUS:
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! ________
Hey falladay! Hey falladay! Up the leg o' your drawers.

It sounds to me like "Listen for one of the [roars] ??"
Thanks very much for that clip. I've very interested in any recording where Roy Williamson is playing wooden flute, and hadn't come across that before.

The correct title is FALLALDY. It’s the first cut on the Corries’ album “Live from Scotland, Vol. 1” (1974).

For some reason, this album isn’t available on Spotify (although vols 2-4 are there), but it can be downloaded from the Corries’ website.
