billy connolly - leo mcguire's song lyrics

Loading...

ah wis headin’ wi ma cromack up frae gretna green tae skye
but ma journey has an element of farce
‘cos the calendar has stated – it’s the middle o’ july
yet here ah am wi’ snaw up tae ma -rs-, oh – yo!

wi’ ma pipes below ma oxter an’ ma sporran neatly pressed
ma pockets full o’ porridge for the road
wi’ some crawford’s tartan shortbread an’ some tattie scones as weel
an’ ah’m jist aboot tae paint masel’ wi’ woad. oh – yo!

i am headin’ for sweet afton, that’s the place that ah am daft on
where the smell o’ tattie bogle fills the air
if ye poke amang the heather wi’ a feather ye will see
where the untamed h-rnie-golluck has his lair. oh – yo!

ah remember annie laurie, sure, ah had her in a quarry
on the road frae tobermory tae the sea
ah remember mountain daisy, an’ that l-ssie wisnae lazy
‘cos ah remember daisy mountin’ me. oh – yo!

ah remember gettin’ pally wi’ a peely-wally ‘tally
in a chalet doon at butlin’s camp at ayr
an’ ah gied her a bambino as she lay an’ read “the beano”
then she said, well how did she know ah wis there? oh – yo!

ah wis jist a wee bit randy as she lay an’ read “the dandy”
then she went an’ put a pot upon the hob
an’ she made me tagliatelli, which she balanced on her belly
so’s ah could eat while ah wis on the job. oh – yo!

by the time the job wis over, she wis halfway through “the rover”
an’ had started on that week’s “people’s friend”
an’ she made me veal escalope an’ we had another wallop
before ma strong desire came to an end

oh the scottish summers have a certain lack of charm
due mainly to the sudden rainy squalls
but the scottish l-ssies can aye keep her laddie warm
by their tender ministration to his knees. oh – yo!
