Henry's Songbook

Hi tum a doo, hi tum a daddy o
Hi tum a doo tum a daddy o

O come a' ye Kincardine lads an' come awa' wi' me
An' we'll awa' tae Sandy's still an' drink the barley bree

Last night I dreamed a dreamy dream, I dreamed it yince afore
I dreamed that oor guidman was chased by the gaugers frae Dunmore
Noo Willie rode his auld grey mare, he rode till the break o' day
Cryin', Lassie lassie guar' yersel' fir there's gaugers on the way

The gaugers cam intae the hoose, they gaed right up the stair
They gaed intae the faither's room an' they foond the bottles there

They pu'd the blankets frae the bed, they trailed them on the flair
Till Maggie she cam runnin' ben sayin', Ye buggers heid fir the door

The gaugers they hae ta'en the road that leads back tae Dunmore
When Sandy got the bottles oot sayin', Mak' a barrel more

Noo Willie Callum made the lum, he made it stoot an' strang
That it wid stand the wear an' tear an' mak' the double strang

Repeat 1
