dick gaughan - erin go bragh lyrics
ma name’s duncan campbell fae the shire o argyll
a’ve traivellt this country for mony’s the mile
a’ve traivellt thro irelan, scotlan an aa
an the name a go under’s bauld erin-go-bragh
ae nicht in auld reekie a walked doun the street
whan a saucy big polis a chanced for tae meet
he glowert in ma face an he gied me some jaw
sayin whan cam ye owre, bauld erin-go-bragh?
well, a am not a pat tho in irelan a’ve been
nor am a a paddy tho irelan a’ve seen
but were a a paddy, that’s nothin at aa
for thair’s mony’s a bauld hero in erin-go-bragh
well a know ye’re a pat by the cut o yer hair
bit ye aa turn tae scotsmen as sune as ye’re here
ye left yer ain countrie for brakin the law
an we’re seizin aa stragglers fae erin-go-bragh
an were a a pat an ye knew it wis true
or wis a the devil, then whit’s that tae you?
were it no for the stick that ye haud in yer paw
a’d show ye a game played in erin-go-bragh
an a lump o blackth-rn that a held in ma fist
aroun his big bodie a made it tae twist
an the blude fae his napper a quickly did draw
an paid him stock-an-interest for erin-go-bragh
bit the people cam roun like a flock o wild geese
sayin catch that daft rascal he’s killt the police
an for every freen a had a’m shair he had twa
it wis terrible hard times for erin-go-bragh
bit a cam tae a wee boat that sails in the forth
an a packed up ma gear an a steered for the north
fareweill tae auld reekie, yer polis an aa
an the devil gang wi ye says erin-go-bragh
sae come aa ye young people, whairever ye’re from
a don’t give a d-mn tae whit place ye belang
a come fae argyll in the heilans sae braw
bit a ne’er took it ill bein caad erin-go-bragh
