Well Samson was a michty man and he fed on fish and chips
         E                             A
He bauchled round the Gallowgate just pickin' up the dips
         A                           D
And wi' you and wi' you and wi' you, Johnny lad

This country’s in an awfy mess it’s mortgaged to the hilt
          E                              A
If they get their way at Westminster they’ll pawn your bloody kilt

Now Johnny was a bonnie lad until they took him in
          E                           A
He had his operation and now they call him Mary!
         A                            D
And wi' you and wi' you and wi' you, Johnny lad
