Dubliners - The Dundee Weaver lyrics
rate meOh I am a Dundee weaver and I come fray' bonny Dundee<br />
I met a Glasgy' fella and he cam' courting me<br />
He took me oot a'walking dun by the Calvin Ha'<br />
And there the dirty wee rascal sto'<br />
My thingamajig awa'<br />
And there the dirty wee rascal sto'<br />
My thingamajig awa'<br />
<br />
He took me oot a'walking dun by the Ruthen glen<br />
He showed to me the bonny wee birds<br />
And he showed me a bonny wee hen<br />
He show to me the bonny wee birds<br />
Fray a linnet tae a craw<br />
And he showed to me the bird that sto'<br />
My thingamajig awa'<br />
He showed to me the bob that sho'<br />
My thingamajig awa'<br />
<br />
Noo I'll gan back to Dundee looking bonny neat and fair<br />
I'll put on me buckle and shoe and tie up my bonny broon hair<br />
I'll put on the corset tight to mak' my body look small<br />
And wha' will ken frae me rosy cheeks<br />
That me thingamajigs awa'<br />
And wha' will ken frae me rosy cheeks<br />
That me thingamajigs awa'<br />
<br />
O' all you Dundee weavers tak' this advise by me<br />
Never let a fairlay an inch abov' your knee<br />
Never stond' the back of ye' clothes or up again' the wa'<br />
For if you' di' you can safely say<br />
That me thingamajigs awa'<br />
For if you' di' you can safely say<br />
That me thingamajigs awa'
