sam shackleton - the overgate (field recording) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i come in the overgate i met a bonnie lass
she winked at me with the tail o’ her eye as i went rovin’ past

[chorus]
wae my torrin a, lilt fa laddie, lilt fa laddie toorin aye
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’

[verse 2]
i asked her if she’d come with me and drink a wee bit wine
and as we walked along the road she put her hand in mine

[chorus]
wae my torrin a, lilt fa laddie, lilt fa laddie toorin aye
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’

[verse 3]
well, she took me to her sitting room a wee bit down the burn
it’s true what rabbie burns did say, a man was made to mourn

[chorus]
wae my torrin a, lilt fa laddie, lilt fa laddie toorin aye
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’

[verse 4]
well, in then came her hubby man what hit me on the head
and then he ran me down the stair and i thought i’d end up dead
[chorus]
wae my torrin a, lilt fa laddie, lilt fa laddie toorin aye
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’

[verse 5]
well, i have lost my tartan kilt, my watch chain, and my purse
says she, “i’ve lost my ain gid man and ye must admit that’s worse”

[chorus]
wae my torrin a, lilt fa laddie, lilt fa laddie toorin aye
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’
with my rovin’ eye folla diddle aye, my rovin’ eye dum a derry o’
