Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Wha Saw the Cotton Spinners
Wha Saw the Cotton Spinners
Wha Saw the Cotton Spinners
Wha saw the Cotton-spinners?
Wha saw them gaun awa'?
Wha saw the Cotton-spinners
Sailing frae the Broomielaw?
Some o' them had boots an' stockin's,
Some o' them had nane ava;
Some o' them had umbrellas
For to keep the rain awa'.
