25 Jan 16 - 07:03 AM (#3767926) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: How many legs has a haggis From: GUEST,Marilyn The Haggis Song was written by Bill Murray, Frank Rennie and James (Jimmy) Farrer for the Dalhousie Jacobean Banquets in the 60s and 70s. As far as I know it's only been recorded by Jimmy etc on a record called "Melodie at Dalhousie Courte". I used to work as a "lady of the Courte of Dalhousie in the early 70s and sing the song for several Burn's events each year. There are 7 verses as well as the choruse. |

25 Jan 16 - 07:22 AM (#3767930) Subject: Lyr Add: THE HAGGIS SONG From: GUEST,Phil d'Conch 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' (Chorus) [Halswell Scouts Songbook] http://www.halswellscouts.co.nz/downloads/camp1.pdf |
