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

Wha’ wad’na be in love wi’ bonnie Maggie Lauder
\nA piper met her goin’ tae Fife and askit what they ca’d her
\nRight scornfully she answered him B’gone ye heilan’ shacker
\nJog on yer gait ye bleth’rin’ skate my name is Maggie Lauder<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nUp the stairs, doon the stairs, I play my chanter rarely
\nThe mair ye hug and kiss the girls the mair they’ll want to marry <\/p>\n

Oh Meg, says he, and by my bags, I’m fidgin’ fain tae see ye
\nSit doon by me my bonnie bird, in troth I wadnae steer ye
\nFor I’m a piper tae my trade my name is Rob the Ranter
\nThe lasses loup as they were daft, when I blaw on my chanter<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nAh weel, says Meg, ha’e you yer bags, and is yer drone in order
\nIf ye be Rob, I’ve heard o’ you, do you live on the Border?
\nThe lasses a’ baith far and near have heard o’ Rob the Ranter
\nI’ll shake my fir wi’ richt guid will, gin you’ll blaw up yer chanter<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Then tae his bags he flew wi’ speed, aboot the drone he twisted
\nMeg up and walloped o’er the green, for brawly could she frisk it
\nWeel done, says he, Play up, says she. Well bobb’d says Rob the Ranter
\nIt’s worth my while tae play indeed, when I hae sic’ a dancer<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Weel hae ye played yer part, says Meg. Your cheeks are like the crimson’
\nThere’s nane in Scotland plays sae weel, since we lost Habbie Simpson
\nI’ve lived in Fife baith maid and wife these ten years and a quarter
\nThe next time your at Anster Fair, just ask for Maggie Lauder<\/p>\n
