rate me

Oh 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'
