THE SEQUEL TO THE DUNDEE WEAVER

(THE) SEQUEL TO THE DUNDEE WEAVER

by

Matt McGinn

Well, I’m a Dundee weaver and I come fae bonny Dundee

I met a Glasgow fella and he came courting me

He took me oot a walking doon by the Broomielaw

And there the dirty wee rascal stole my thingamyjigger awa’

And there the dirty wee rascal stole my thingamyjigger awa’

He took me oot a walking doon by the Rouken Glen

He showed to me a bonny wee cock and he showed to me a hen

He show to me the birdies from a linnet tae a craw

And there the dirty wee rascal stole ma thingamyjigger awa’

And there the dirty wee rascal stole my thingamyjigger awa’

I am a Glesga fella and I’m sure ye’ve heard o’ me

I’ve just received a letter fae a weaver in Dundee

She says that I should pay to her a bit o’ my weekly wage

For she is claiming that I hae put a canary in her cage

For she is claiming that I hae put a canary in her cage

Noo this wee Dundee weaver, she must surely think me daft

I showed it tae my cronies and they a’ stood there and laughed

They says that I should write to her and tell her to get to hell

For every wan o’ them has had a canary there as well

For every wan o’ them has had a canary there as well
