Old Blind Dogs - Tramps and Hawkers
Come aw ye tramps an' hawker lads an' gaitherers o blaw
That tramps this country roon' an' roon', come listen ane and aw
I'll tell tae ye a rovin tale on sichts that i hae seen
Far up intae the snowy north an' south by gretna green
★ verse 1 ★
I've seen the high ben nevis a-towerin tae the moon
I've been by crieff and callander an roon' by bonnie doon
An' by the nethy's silvery tide and places ill tae ken
Far up intae the stormy north lies urquhart's fairy glen
★ chorus ★
So, come aw ye tramps an' hawker lads an' gaitherers o blaw
That tramps this country roon' an' roon', come listen ane and aw
I'll tell tae ye a rovin tale on sichts that i hae seen
Far up intae the snowy north an' south by gretna green
★ verse 2 ★
Oft hae i laucht untae myself when trudgin on the road
Wi a bag o blaw upon by back, my face as broun's a toad
Wi lumps o cake an' tattie scones an' cheese an' braxie ham
Nae thinkin where i'm comin fae or where i'm goin tae gang
★ verse 3 ★
I'm happy in the summertime beneath the bricht blue sky
Nae thinkin in the mornin at nicht where i've to lie
Barns or byres or onywhere, or oot among the hay
And if the weather does permit, i'm happy every day
★ chorus ★
So, come aw ye tramps an' hawker lads an' gaitherers o blaw
That tramps this country roon' an' roon', come listen ane and aw
I'll tell tae ye a rovin tale on sichts that i hae seen
Far up intae the snowy north an' south by gretna green
★ verse 4 ★
I've done my share of lumpin wi the dockers on the clyde
I've helped the buckie trawlers pou the herrin o'er the side
I've helped tae build the mighty bridge that spans the firth o forth
An' wi mony an angus fermer's rig i've plowed the bonnie earth
★ verse 5 ★
Loch katrine an' loch lomond have aw been kent by me
The dee, the don, the deveron that rushes tae the sea
Dunrobin castle by the way, i nearly had forgot
And aye, the rickle o cairn marks at the house o john o' groat
★ chorus ★
So, come aw ye tramps an' hawker lads an' gaitherers o blaw
That tramps this country roon' an' roon', come listen ane and aw
I'll tell tae ye a rovin tale on sichts that i hae seen
Far up intae the snowy north an' south by gretna green
★ verse 6 ★
I'm often roon' by gallawa or doun aboot stranraer
My business leads me onywhere, i travel near an' far
I've got a rovin notion, there's nothin' that i loss
And aw the days my daily fare an' what'll pay my doss
★ verse 7 ★
I think i'll go tae paddy's land, i'm makkin up ma mind
For scotland's greatly altered now, i canna raise the wind
But i will trust in providence, if providence proves true
And i will sing o erin's isle e'er i get back tae you
★ chorus ★
So, come aw ye tramps an' hawker lads an' gaitherers o blaw
That tramps this country roon' an' roon', come listen ane and aw
I'll tell tae ye a rovin tale on sichts that i hae seen
Far up intae the snowy north an' south by gretna green
