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.
