the overgate - alba (1977) lyrics

Loading...

as i gaed doun the overgate i met a bonnie wee lass
and she winked at me wi’ the tail of her e’e as i went rovin’ past

wi’ my roving eye, fol*a doo*a*di
rovin’ di*dumderry, my rovin’ eye

she asked me for tae gaeng with her, i said yeah i’ll be gaed
but i’m just off auchtermuchty tae the market with some swine

she took me tae a sitting room, a wee bit doon the burn
ay, it’s true what robbie burns said: “a man was made to mourn.”
then wе baith gaid up the stairs to hae a wee bit drink
when thеre cam a knock upon the door, man i’d scarcely time to think

then in cam twa policemen an they taen me be the hair
and he gied me the whirimagig right doon to the foot of the stair

all that nicht i dreamt i was lyin’ in the airms o’ jemima rose;
but when i woke up i was lyin’ on my back at the fit o’ the beefcan close

come a’ ye jolly plooman lads that gang oot for a lark;
now keep your money in your inside pooch and waff it tae the tail o’ your sark

- alba 1977 lyrics
