I've cobles fishin' oot i' t' bay,
For whitings, dabs and cods, I've herrin' trawls and salmon nets, I've hooks and lines and rods. I mill a bit. ... On darksome neets, back-end 'o t' yeer, I like another sport; I row my boat wheer t' lugger lies, Coom frae some foreign port; A guinea in a coastguard's poke Will mak him steck his een ; So he says nowt when I coom yam Wi' scent and saccharine. I mill a bit. ... 1. Settles. 2. Heifers. 3 .Shirts. 4. Pick up 5 Periwinkles 6. Crowd together The Bride's Homecomming |
