- Kincardine Lads
A brilliant Scottish traditional song I learned from the singing of Jim Malcolm from the group Old Blind Dogs. Just a bunch of simple country boys trying to enjoy some home made adult beverages without the intrusion of the Revenue Men.
lyrics
Come, a’ ye Kincardine lads
And tak a dram wi’ me
We’ll ging doon tae Sandy’s still
And tak the barley bree
And tak a dram wi’ me
We’ll ging doon tae Sandy’s still
And tak the barley bree
Wi’ a hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Hi dum a doo dum a daddy o
Sandy rade his auld gray mare
He rade tae break o’ day
Sayin’, “Laddie, laddie, gyan yersel’
The gaugers are on their way”
The gaugers, they cam tae the hoose
They went richt up the stair
They searched the room, a’ richt aroon
But they fund nae bottles there
They pu’d the blankets aff the bed
They threw them on the flair
Maggie, she cam runnin’ ben
Sayin’, “Ye beggars, get oot the door”
Sandy Callum made the still
He made it tae a plan
So it would stand away oot there
And mak the doubles strang
Come, a’ ye Kincardine lads
And tak a dram wi’ me
We’ll ging doon tae Sandy’s still
And tak the barley bree
