Capo 3
[Intro]
D C D C D C D C
[Verse 1]
Come, Dbonnie lass, lie near me
An' Glet the brandy cheer ye
For the Croad frae Fife tae Falkirk's lang
An' Dcauld an' wet an' weary
My trade, it is the weavin'
In the Gbonnie toun o' Leven
An' we'll Cdrink a health tae the farmers' dames
Wha'll Gbuy our cloth the morn
[Chorus]
You can see them a', the lads o' the fair
Lads frae the Forth an' the CCarron water
GWorkin' lads an' lads wi' gear
Lads wha'd sell ye the Cprovost's dochter
GSodjers back frae the German wars
CPeddlers up frae the Dborder
An' Classies wi' an eye for Ammair than the Gkey
At the Ctrysting fair at AmFalGkirk
[Verse 2]
Come, DGeorgie, haud the pony
For the Gpath is steep and stony
An' it's Cthree lang weeks frae the Isle o' Skye
And the Dbeasts are thin an' bony
We'll tak the last o' the siller
An' Gbuy oursels a gill or two
An' Cdrink to the lads wha'll buy our kye
In GFalkirk toun the morn
[Chorus]
You can see them a', the lads o' the fair
Lads frae the Forth an' the CCarron water
GWorkin' lads an' lads wi' gear
Lads wha'd sell ye the Cprovost's dochter
GSodjers back frae the German wars
CPeddlers up frae the Dborder
An' Classies wi' an eye for Ammair than the Gkey
At the Ctrysting fair at AmFalGkirk
[Verse 3]
Staun Dhear an' I'll show ye
GThere's the toun below ye
But we'd Cbest bide here in the barn the nicht
For the Dnightwatch dinna know ye
My brother, he's a ploughman
An' GI'm for the feeing now, man
An' we'll Cdrink tae the price o' the hairvest corn
In GFalkirk toun the morn
[Chorus]
You can see them a', the lads o' the fair
Lads frae the Forth an' the CCarron water
GWorkin' lads an' lads wi' gear
Lads wha'd sell ye the Cprovost's dochter
GSodjers back frae the German wars
CPeddlers up frae the Dborder
An' Classies wi' an eye for Ammair than the Gkey
At the Ctrysting fair at AmFalGkirk
[Verse 4]
The Dwark o' the weaver's over
LikeGwise the days o' the drover
An' the Cploughboy sits on a tractor noo
Too Dhigh to see the clover
The warkin's no sae steady
But the Glads are aye still ready
Tae Cdrink a health tae the working man
In GFalkirk toun the morn
[Chorus]
You can see them a', the lads o' the fair
Lads frae the Forth an' the CCarron water
GWorkin' lads an' lads wi' gear
Lads wha'd sell ye the Cprovost's dochter
GSodjers back frae the German wars
CPeddlers up frae the Dborder
An' Classies wi' an eye for Ammair than the Gkey
At the Ctrysting fair at AmFalGkirk
