I wasn't worried about straining people's mailboxen, I was worried about
copyright issues. At least a verse of the song I know is under copyright and
I'm not going to post it to the list.
Here are the first two verses and chorus, which I believe are trad., as I got
them from Tom Smith:
As I cam in by Wilsontoon
I met wee Johnny Scobie
Says he to me "Would you tak a hauf"
Says I "Man that's my hobby"
chorus:
We're no' awa tae bide awa'
We're no' awa tae leave ye
We're no' awa tae bide awa'
We'll ay come back and see ye
Now we had a hauf and another hauf
And then we had another
And we got fu', and we baith said 'Boo'
And its Carnwath Mill forever
chorus
<<<David Forrest's verse not included>>>
chorus
It could be that David Forrest wouldn't mind his work being distributed here.
I'm not making that decision for him.
I suppose that if you'd really like Forrest's verse, you could always buy
Tom's CD. :)
