Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Saw ye the Forty-Second? Saw ye them gaun awa’?
Saw ye the Forty-Second Marching to the Broomielaw?
Some o’ them had boots an’ stockin’s, Some o’ them had nane ava;
Some o’ them had tartan plaidies, Marching to the Broomielaw.
Fa saw the Forty-Second, fa saw them gang awa?
Fa saw the Forty-Second gaein’ to the Waupinschaw?
Some o’ them gat chappit tatties, some o’ them gat nane ava.
Some o’ them gat barley bannocks, gaein’ to the Waupinschaw.
Fa saw the Forty-Second, fa saw them gang awa?
Fa saw the Forty-Second marchin’ doun the Broomie-Law?
Some of them had tartan troosers, some of them had nane ava,
Some of them had green umbrellas, marchin’ doun the Broomie-Law.
Wha saw the ’Forty-second’ Wha saw them gaun awa’
Wha saw the ’Forty-second’ Marchin’ doon the Broomielaw.
Some o’ them had buits and stockin’s, some o’ them had nane at a’,
Some o’ them had tartan trousers, marchin’ doon the Broomielaw.
Saw ye the Forty-Second? Saw ye them gaun awa’?
Saw ye the Forty-Second Marching to the Broomielaw?
Some o’ them had boots an’ stockin’s, Some o’ them had nane ava;
Some o’ them had tartan plaidies, Marching to the Broomielaw.
Some o’ them had kilts and sporrans, some o’ them had nane at a’,
Some o’ them had braw Glengarries Marchin’ doon the Broomielaw.
