[G] O'er Carmally tramps and the hawker lads, And gatherers of law,
That tramps the country round and round, Come listening and all.
I'll tell thee a rovin' tale, O sights that I ha' seen,
It's far and ta'y to snowy north, And sooth by gretna green.
Oft times I've [D] laughed and [G] tamed myself, When Trojans, my toe-rags around,
My blistered feet, my face as brown as toads, We lumps of cake and tatty scones,
We wangs of Braxey ham.
No bein' [D] thought frae where [G] I've come, And lest, e'er I'm gone,
I've done my share a-humpin' with the dockers and Clyde.
I've helped in bucky -trawlers, Haul the head and the lower side.
I've helped to build the mighty bridge, That spans the busy fore.
And we money and angus famers trig, I've polluted the bonnie air.
I'm happy in the summer time, Beneath the bright blue sky.
No thinkin' in the mornin' where, At night, I'll hate to lie.
In barn or byre or anywhere, Dossin' out among the hay.
And if the weather treats me right, I'm happy every day.
[N]
