Here lie Willie Michie’s banes;O Satan, when ye tak him,Gie him the schulin o’ your weans,For clever deils he’ll mak them!4
Boat song—Hey, Ca’ Thro’5
Up wi’ the carls o’ Dysart,And the lads o’ Buckhaven,And the kimmers o’ Largo,And the lasses o’ Leven.9
Chorus
Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado.Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado;13We hae tales to tell,An’ we hae sangs to sing;We hae pennies tae spend,An’ we hae pints to bring.17
Chorus
Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado.Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado;21We’ll live a’ our days,And them that comes behin’,Let them do the like,An’ spend the gear they win.25
Chorus
Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado.Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’,For we hae muckle ado;29
