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

When the yellow’s on the broom
\nWhen the yellow’s on the broom
\nI’ll tak’ ye on the road again
\nWhen the yellow’s on the broom<\/p>\n

I ken ye dinna like it, lass, tae winter here in toon
\nFor the scaldies aye miscry us and they try tae put us doon
\nBut it’s hard to raise three bairns in a single flea-box room
\nSo I’ll tak’ ye on the road again when yellow’s on the broom<\/p>\n

The scaldies call us ‘tinker dirt’ and strike our bairns in school
\nWho cares what a scaldy thinks a scaldy’s just a fool
\nHe never hears the yorlin’s song nor sees the flax in bloom
\nFor they’re a’ cooped up in hooses when the yellow’s on the broom<\/p>\n

No sale for pegs or baskets so just to stay alive
\nWe have tae work at scaldy jobs from nine o’clock till five
\nBut we call no man our master for we own the world’s room
\nAnd we’ll bid fareweel tae Brechin when the yellow’s on the broom<\/p>\n

I’m weary for the springtime tae tak’ the road yince mair
\nFor the plantin’ and the pearlin’ and the berry fields of Blair
\nWe’ll meet up wi’ oor kinfolk from a’ the country roon’
\nWhen the ganaboot folk tak’ the road and the yellow’s on the broom<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
