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. |

I've very interested in any recording where Roy Williamson is playing wooden flute, and hadn't come across that before. |

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. |
