Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Ill Hae Nae Mair o Yer Cheese
I'll Hae Nae Mair o' Yer Cheese
I'll Hae Nae Mair o' Yer Cheese
1.
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.
The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.
I see you're a-bloomin again,
I see you're a-bloomin again.
In yer ee there's a blink,
In yer pockets a chink,
I see ye're a-bloomin again.
But
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese,
The last I got, it stuck in ma throat,
I'll hae nae mair o' yer cheese.
2.
I'll eat nae mair
I'll eat nae mair
I'll eat nae mair a your cheese
For the last I ate has stuck in ma throat
And gien me the heart disease.
