| The day we |
went to Rothe |
say, O. |
A sodger lad named Rutherglen Will,
Wha's regiment's lyin' at Barn Hill,
Went off wi' a tanner to get a Jill
In a public hoose in Rothesay, O.
Said he, "By Christ, I'd like to sing."
Said I, "Ye'll no' dae sic a thing."
He said, "Clear the room and I'll mak' a ring
And I'll fecht them all in Rothesay, O."
I' search of lodgins we did slide,
To find a place where we could bide;
There was eichty-twa o' us inside
In a single room in Rothesay, O.
We a' lay doon to tak' our ease,
When somebody happened for to sneeze,
And he wakened half a million fleas
In that single room in Rothesay, O.
There were several different kinds of bugs,
Some had feet like dyers' clogs,
And they sat on the bed and they cockit their lugs
And cried, "Hurrah for Rothesay, O!"
I said, "I think we should elope!"
So we went and joined the Band O' Hope,
But the polis wouldna let us stop
Another nicht in Rothesay, O.
