| 168. Boat Song—Hey, Ca’ Thro’ |
| |
| |
| UP wi’ the carls o’ Dysart, | |
| And the lads o’ Buckhaven, | |
| And the kimmers o’ Largo, | |
| And the lasses o’ Leven. | |
| |
| Chorus.—Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’, | 5 |
| For we hae muckle ado. | |
| Hey, ca’ thro’, ca’ thro’, | |
| For we hae muckle ado; | |
| |
| We hae tales to tell, | |
| An’ we hae sangs to sing; | 10 |
| We hae pennies tae spend, | |
| An’ we hae pints to bring. | |
| Hey, ca’ thro’, &c. | |
| |
| We’ll live a’ our days, | |
| And them that comes behin’, | 15 |
| Let them do the like, | |
| An’ spend the gear they win. | |
| Hey, ca’ thro’, &c. | |
