[Chorus]
Come, a' ye tramps and hawker lads and Fgaitherers o' blaw
That Ctramps this country roun' and roun', come Flisten ane and Ama'
I'll Ctell tae ye a rovin' tale and Fsichts that I hae Amseen
Far Cup intae the snowy north and Fsooth by Gretna CGreen
[Verse]
I've seen the high Ben Nevis a-Ftowerin' tae the moon
I've Cbeen by Crieff and Callander and Froun' by Bonny AmDoon
And Cby the Nethy's silvery tide and Fplaces ill tae Amken
Far Cup intae the stormy north lies FUrquhart's fairy Cglen
[Chorus]
Come, a' ye tramps and hawker lads and Fgaitherers o' blaw
That Ctramps this country roun' and roun', come Flisten ane and Ama'
I'll Ctell tae ye a rovin' tale and Fsichts that I hae Amseen
Far Cup intae the snowy north and Fsooth by Gretna CGreen

[Verse]
Oft hae I laughed intae myself when Ftrudgin' on the road
Wi' a Cbag o' bla' upon by back, my Fface as bruin's a Amtoad
Wi' Clumps o' cake and tattie scones and Fcheese and braxie Amham
Nae Cthinking where I'm comin' frae or Fwhere I'm goin' tae Cgang
[Verse]
I'm happy in the summer time beFneath the bricht blue sky
Nae Cthinkin' in the morning', at Fnicht where I'm to Amlie
CBarns or byres or anywhere, or Foot among the Amhay
And Cif the weather does permit, I'm Fhappy every Cday
[Chorus]
Come, a' ye tramps and hawker lads and Fgaitherers o' blaw
That Ctramps this country roun' and roun', come Flisten ane and Ama'
I'll Ctell tae ye a rovin' tale and Fsichts that I hae Amseen
Far Cup intae the snowy north and Fsooth by Gretna CGreen

[Verse]
I've done my share of humpin' wi' the Fdockers on the Clyde
I've Chelped the Buckie trawlers pu' the Fherrin' o'er the Amside
I've Chelped to build the mighty bridge that Fspans the Firth o' AmForth
And wi' Cmony Angus farmer's rig, I've Fploughed the bonny Cearth
[Verse]
Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond have Fa' been kent by me
The CDee, the Don, the Deveron that Frushes tae the Amsea
DunCrobin Castle, by the way, I Fnearly hae forAmgot
And Caye, the rickle o' cairn marks at the Fhouse o' John o' CGroats
[Chorus]
Come, a' ye tramps and hawker lads and Fgaitherers o' blaw
That Ctramps this country roun' and roun', come Flisten ane and Ama'
I'll Ctell tae ye a rovin' tale and Fsichts that I hae Amseen
Far Cup intae the snowy north and Fsooth by Gretna CGreen

[Verse]
I'm often 'roon by Gallowa' and Fdoon about Stranraer
My Cbusiness leads me onywhere, I Ftravel near and Amfar
I've Cgot a rovin' notion, there's Fnothing that I Amloss
And Ca' my days my daily fare and Fwhat'll pay my Cdoss
[Verse]
I think I'll go to Paddy's land, I'm Fmakkin' up my mind
For CScotland's greatly altered now, I Fcanna raise the Amwind
But CI will trust in Providence, if FProvidence proves Amtrue
And CI will sing o' Erin's isle 'ere FI get back to Cyou
[Chorus]
Come, a' ye tramps and hawker lads and Fgaitherers o' blaw
That Ctramps this country roun' and roun', come Flisten ane and Ama'
I'll Ctell tae ye a rovin' tale and Fsichts that I hae Amseen
Far Cup intae the snowy north and Fsooth by Gretna CGreen
