Come A Ye Tramps An Hawkers lyrics
There are dozens of traditional verses to this one. Which ones do you
know? Add them in and let s see how far we can get.
Come a ye tramps and hawkers noo,
Ye gaitherers o blaw
That tramps the countrie roun an roun
Come lissen ane an aw
Ah ll tell tae you a rovin tale
O sichts as Ah hae seen
Far up intae thae snawy north
An sooth be Gretna Green.
Ah ve seen the high Ben Lomond
a-towerin tae the moon
Ah ve been by Creiff and Callendar
and roond be bonnie Doune.
Ah ve seen Loch Ness es silvery tides,
And places ill tae ken:
Far up intae the snawy north
Lies Urquharts fairy glen.
It s aft Ah ve laffed untae masel
As Ah trudged alang the road
Wi a bag o blaw upon ma back
an face as broun s a toad s.
Wi lumps o cake an tattie scones
Cheese and braxie hams
It s nae thinkin waur Ah m comin fae
Nor waur Ah m gawn tae gang.
For Ah m happy in the summer time
Aneath the bricht blue sky
Nae thinkin in the mornin
Waur at nicht that Ah sall lie.
If in a barn, or yet a byre
Or jist amang the hay
So lang s the weather doth permit,
Ah m happy every day.
But Ah think Ah ll go tae Paddy s Land,
Ah makkin up ma mind.
For Scotland s fairly altered noo,
Ye cannae raise the wind.
But Ah will trust in Providence,
an Providence prove true,
Ah ll tell ye a o Erin s Isle
Win Ah come back tae you.
