Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
(Scots Dialect)
Ah wis ludgin’ wi’ Big Aggie, just me an’ ither ten,
We a’ slept the gither in a wee bit single en’;
We had nae beds at a’, we just slept against the wa’,
In oor ain wee hoose, in oor ain wee hoose.
Last Saturday for supper we got sausage on a plate;
I was just aboot to eat it when the sausage it said Wait,
Afore ye start on me, I was made in 1903;
And I went stane blin’ when the sausage it did rin
Fae oor ain wee hoose, fae oor ain wee hoose.
We had rabbit for oor dinner, man, I couldnae stand the pain.
In fact one fella snuffed it, and anither went insane.
Aggie said it was the flu, but I don’t think that’s quite true,
For oor dug ca’d Prince has been missing ever since
Fae oor ain wee hoose, fae oor ain wee hoose.
LUDGIN’ WI’ BIG AGGIE
(Anglicized)
I was lodgin’ with Big Aggie, just me and other ten,
We all slept together in a wee bit single end;
We had no beds at all, we just slept against the wall,
In our own wee house, in our own wee house.
Last Saturday for supper we got sausage on a plate;
I was just about to eat it when the sausage it said Wait,
Before you start on me, I was made in 1903;
And I went stone blind when the sausage it did run
From our own wee house, from our own wee house.
We had rabbit for our dinner, man, I couldn’t stand the pain.
In fact one fella snuffed it, and another went insane.
Aggie said it was the flu, but I don’t think that’s quite true,
For our dog called Prince has been missing ever since
From our own wee house, from our own wee house.
