Fiddler's Green - Tullochgorum songtekst
Je score:
Come give us a song, Montgomery cried And lay your disputes all aside What nonsense is't for folks to chide For what's been done before 'em Let Whig and Tory all agree, Whig and Tory, Whig and Tory Whig and Tory all agree To drop their Whigmigmorum Let Whig and Tory all agree To spend this night in mirth and glee And cheerful sing along with me The Reel of Tullochgorum O Tullochgorum's my delight, It gars us all in one unite And ony sumph that keeps up spite, In conscience, I abhor him Blythe and merry we'll be all, Blythe and merry, blythe and merry Blythe and merry we'll be all, And make a cheerfull quorum Blythe and merry we'll be all, As lang as we have a breath to draw And dance till we be like to fall, The Reel of Tullochgorum Let worldly worms their minds oppress, With fears or want and double cess And sullen sots themselves distress With keeping up decorum Shall we so sour and sulky sit? Sour and sulky, sour and sulky Sour and sulky shall we sit, Like auld Philosophorum? Shall we so sour and sulky sit, With neither sense, nor mirth, nor wit Nor ever rise to shake a fit To the Reel of Tullochgorum? May choicest blessings all attend Each honest open-hearted friend And calm and quiet be his end, And all that's good watch o'er him May peace and plenty be his lot, Peace and plenty, peace and plenty Peace and plenty be his lot And dainties a great store o' them May peace and plenty be his lot, Unstain'd by any vicious spot And may he never want a groat, That's fond of Tullochgorum But for the discontented fool, Who loves to be oppression's tool May envy gnaw his rotten soul And discontent devour him! May dool and sorrow be his chance, Dool and sorrow, dool and sorrow Dool and sorrow be his chance, And honest souls abhor him May dool and sorrow be his chance And all the ills that come from France Whoever he be that would not dance The Reel of Tullochgorum
