The Muckin o Geordie's Byre

Noo whan Ah-want-ta lauchin Ah think of the scene
Whan aa'body roon cam ower tae clean
An claarted themsel's richt up-ta the e'en
At the muckin o Geordie's byre
Wi Robbie the Rochie an Willie the Doo
The officer fell fur Jeannie McGrew
And aa'body else that hud hud a capoo
At the muckin' o' Geordie's byre

Och! siccan a sotter wis aa'body in
Five mile awa ye cud hear the din
Even the verra-coo hud to grin
At the muckin o Geordie's byre

Noo the bobby cam roon tae quell the fowks doon
The cratur gat loast whaur the ricks hud thur foon
He fell in the midden, wis like tae droon
At the muckin o Geordie's byre
The wecht o him syne sends the barrow in bits
The wheel cairries oan an the officer hits
Losh ye shud hiv seen hoo she did the splits
At the muckin o Geordie's byre

Och! siccan a sotter wis aa'body in
Five mile awa ye cud hear the din
Even the verra-coo hud to grin
At the muckin o Geordie's byre

Oh the whisky gaed roon, Tammy's fleein the doo
An aye as they drank, the mair they gat fou
The only yins sober, the calf an the coo
At the muckin o Geordie's byre
Tammy roars oot, "Ring the bell fur mair"
Syne he tuggit the coo's tail, an pult oot a hair
She kickit oot he gaed up in the air
At the muckin o Geordie's byre

Och! siccan a sotter wis aa'body in
Five mile awa ye cud hear the din
Even the verra-coo hud to grin
At the muckin o Geordie's byre

Oo-oh such a stanache was there to see
Five miles away you could hear the melee
Even the domesticated animals were consumed with glee
At the cleansing of Georges cow shed

Och! siccan a sotter wis aa'body in
Five mile awa ye cud hear the din
Even the verra-coo hud to grin
At the muckin o Geordie's byre
