Oh I am a Dundee weaver and I come fray' bonny Dundee |
|
I met a Glasgy' fella and he cam' courting me |
|
He took me oot a'walking dun by the Calvin Ha' |
|
And there the dirty wee rascal sto' |
|
My thingamajig awa' |
|
And there the dirty wee rascal sto' |
|
My thingamajig awa' |
|
He took me oot a'walking dun by the Ruthen glen |
|
He showed to me the bonny wee birds |
|
And he showed me a bonny wee hen |
|
He show to me the bonny wee birds |
|
Fray a linnet tae a craw |
|
And he showed to me the bird that sto' |
|
My thingamajig awa' |
|
He showed to me the bob that sho' |
|
My thingamajig awa' |
|
Noo I'll gan back to Dundee looking bonny neat and fair |
|
I'll put on me buckle and shoe and tie up my bonny broon hair |
|
I'll put on the corset tight to mak' my body look small |
|
And wha' will ken frae me rosy cheeks |
|
That me thingamajigs awa' |
|
And wha' will ken frae me rosy cheeks |
|
That me thingamajigs awa' |
|
O' all you Dundee weavers tak' this advise by me |
|
Never let a fairlay an inch abov' your knee |
|
Never stond' the back of ye' clothes or up again' the wa' |
|
For if you' di' you can safely say |
|
That me thingamajigs awa' |
|
For if you' di' you can safely say |
|
That me thingamajigs awa' |
