The Weavers - Get up get out

^AmWhen I was young and short of tongue ^EA silly wee fool was I ^AmThe morning after I left the school ^EI heard my mother ^Amsigh

^AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout ^DGet into your working ^Amclothes Up to your knees in ^Coil and grease With the ^Ggrindstone to your nose

^AmI bought a clock, a bonny wee clock ^ETo help me tell the time ^AmIt waken me every morning ^EWith a very poetic rhythm

^AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout ^DGet into your working ^Amclothes Up to your knees in ^Coil and grease With the ^Ggrindstone to your nose

^AmI married a lass, a bonny wee lass ^EAnd kept her many a-year ^AmCome what may, she began every day ^EBy whispering in my ear

^AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout ^DGet into your working ^Amclothes Up to your knees in ^Coil and grease With the ^Ggrindstone to your nose

^AmSome can lie as long as they like ^EThey're luckier man than me ^AmI never get to lie very long ^EI'm only 5 foot 3 ^AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout ^DGet into your working ^Amclothes Up to your knees in ^Coil and grease With the ^Ggrindstone to your nose

^AmI'll look for work tomorrow ^EIf you just let me sleep ^Amtoday
