Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nOh yer ma wee gallus broke nae mair.
\nYer ma wee gallus bloke nae mair.
\nWi’ yer bell blue stride, yer bonnet tae the side,
\nYer ma wee gallus bloke nae mair.<\/p>\n

As I went by the sweetie works my heart began to beat,
\nWatching all the factory lasses walking doon the street,
\nWi’ their flashy dashy petticoats, flashy dashy shawls,
\nFive and a tanner gutty boots we’re all we gallus molls.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Big Jessie she came runnin’ doon the factory gates at five
\nThe factory shuts at six o’clock but Jess was on the skive
\nShe says to me, “There’s a dance tonight in the corporative hall.”
\n“You’re on,” says I, “come on,” says I, “you’re going wi’ Robin Hall.”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

One day as I was walkin’ doon the streets of Glasgow toon
\nI spied a bonnie lassie standin’ all around
\nBut she would’na give me the time of day, she thought I was a beggar
\nSo I got a kilt and a tank top shirt, now I look like Jimmie MacGregor<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Now Scots it is a novel tongue, the meaning’s hard to tell.
\nIt’s in the boot and hae nae doubt it’s tapsel teary’ll.
\nBut we are only doin’ our best, we try to do it well,
\nBut what this song is all about we dinae ken oursel’.<\/p>\n
