Am I ready?
Ready
As I came in by Aird Ford to get a fee, I met
In with Jimmy Brown and with him did agree
I engaged with Jimmy Brown in the year '91, to
Ging and buy a second pair and be as o'er a man
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
When I got to the Guisе at ochter's on
An evening clear, and out about ...
Nor a house, thе Gouffre did appear
Says, "I'm the master of this place and that's the messes there
You'll get plenty cheese and bread and plenty
More to spare." Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
I sat and ate the cheese and bread till they did roon me stare
Faith I thought it would be time to ging and see my pair
And I got to the stable, my pair for to view
Faith they were a dandy pair, a chestnut and a blue
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
On the following morning I got to the plough, but long
Arrived the yoke and din, my pair they gartna roo
For my plough she wisnae working wheel, she would nae turn the fur
The Gouffre says I bettering it, this minute it ging four
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
When I got hame the new plough, she pleased me unco weel
But I thought that she'd been pither gin she'd hid her cot and wheel
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
We hae a gallant bailie and Wallace is his name
He can fare it up the kyve when he digs doon the kame
And he's gane doon to Jimmy Watts for to hae a dram
Long, long arrived when doon the laddie could nae staun
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
We also hae a kitchen lass and Simpson is her name
And for to tell her pedigree I really would think shame
She dresses up in Sunday weel where he'd have been the level
But with her raw curles it would scare the very devil
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
And now my song it's ended and I won't sing anymore
And if anyone's offended they can walk outside the door
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Tumma hi dum do, tumma hi do day
Now that's better
