Though Geordie's a man |
|
I hav'ny seen lately, |
|
I met with his brother in |
|
Tain. Says |
|
I, "Do ye think that he's still off the drink?" "Oh, no, HE'S AT IT AGAIN!" |
|
Aye we telt him and aye we warned him; |
|
And aye he promised, but then... |
|
At the turn o' yer back, he'd be right off the track; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! I asked him, "Is Geordie still makin' good whiskey?" (He's prone to distill now and then.) "He'd been testin' a sup, and near blew he's sel' up, But noo, HE'S AT IT AGAIN!" |
|
Aye we telt him and aye we warned him; |
|
And aye he promised, but then... |
|
At the turn o' yer back, he'd be right off the track; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! Geordie's the lad for courtin' the ladies; |
|
He's tall and handsome, but vain. |
|
He wed five or six, but they tired of his tricks; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! Aye we telt him and aye we warned him; |
|
And aye he promised, but then... |
|
At the turn o' yer back, he'd be right off the track; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! I remember when |
|
Geordie discovered the horses, |
|
Then swore no to back them again. |
|
All his horses got bate, he had devil a hate; |
|
But noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! Aye we telt him and aye we warned him; |
|
And aye he promised, but then... |
|
At the turn o' yer back, he'd be right off the track; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! The |
|
Baliff caught |
|
Geordie doon poachin' the salmon, |
|
And off to the court he was taen; |
|
But the truth for to tell, he'd a rest in his cell; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN. Aye we telt him and aye we warned him; |
|
And aye he promised, but then... |
|
At the turn o' yer back, he'd be right off the track; |
|
And noo, H |
|
E'S AT IT |
|
AGAIN! |
