RUM’LL HAE TAE DAE THE DAY

RUM’LL HAE TAE DAE THE DAY

by

Matt McGinn

I daunered doon tae Ru’glen toon

And there I met wi Susan

She kissed me and she left me

It was that that set me boozing

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And rid me o my sorrow

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And gin’ll dae the morra

Oh, now I’ve met another lass

Her face is nice and bonny

But I’m awfa feart she wanders off

And leaves me on my ownie

So rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And rid me o my sorrow

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And gin’ll dae the morra

Now, I’ve just won a thousand pounds

I’m awfae feart I’ll lose it

So just to rid me of the fear

I think I’d better booze it

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And rid me o my sorrow

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And gin’ll dae the morra

The Ru’glen pubs are aw shut doon

Tae celebrate the Sabbath

But I’ll gang oot tae East Kilbride

I aye make that my habit

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And rid me o my sorrow

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And gin’ll dae the morra

They say that cider makes ye thin

And flighty as a feather

And whisky makes ye awfae fat

So I’ll hae baith the gether

Oh, rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And rid me o my sorrow

Rum’ll hae tae dae the day

And gin’ll dae the morra
