old blind dogs - lads o the fair lyrics

[verse 1]
come, bonnie lass, lie near me
and let the brandy cheer ye
for the road fae fife tae falkirk’s lang
and cold and wet and weary
my trade it is the weavin
in the bonnie toun o leven
and we’ll drink a health tae the farmers’ dames
wha’ll buy oor cloth the morn

[verse 2]
come, georgie, haud the pony
for the path is steep and stony
and it’s three lang weeks fae the isle o skye
and the beasts are thin and bony
we’ll tak the last o the siller
and buy oorsels a gill or twa
and drink tae the lads wha’ll buy oor kye
in falkirk’s toun the morn
[chorus]
ye can see them aw, the lads o the fair
lads fae the forth and the carron water
workin lads and lads wi gear
lads wha’d sell ye the provost’s daughter
sodgers back fae the german wars
peddlers up fae the border
and lassies wi an eye for mair than the kye
at the trystin fair at falkirk

[verse 3]
staun’ hear and i’ll show ye
thare’s the toun below ye
but we’d best bide here in the barn the night
for the nightw+tch dinna know ye
my brother, he’s a plowman
and i’m for feein now, man
and we’ll drink tae the price o the harvest corn
in falkirk’s toun the morn

[chorus]
ye can see them aw, the lads o the fair
lads fae the forth and the carron water
workin lads and lads wi gear
lads wha’d sell ye the provost’s daughter
sodgers back fae the german wars
peddlers up fae the border
and lassies wi an eye for mair than the kye
at the trystin fair at falkirk
[verse 4]
the wark o weavin’s over
likewise the days o the drover
and the plowboy sits on the tractor now
too high to see the clover
the warkin’s no sae steady
but the lads are aye still ready
tae drink a health tae the wirkin man
in falkirk’s toun the morn

[chorus]
ye can see them aw, the lads o the fair
lads fae the forth and the carron water
workin lads and lads wi gear
lads wha’d sell ye the provost’s daughter
sodgers back fae the german wars
peddlers up fae the borders
and lassies wi an eye for mair than the kye
at the trystin fair at falkirk
ye can see them aw, the lads o the fair
lads fae the forth and the carron water
workin lads and lads wi gear
lads wha’d sell ye the provost’s daughter
sodgers back fae the german wars
peddlers up fae the borders
and lassies wi an eye for mair than the kye
at the trystin fair at falkirk
