As I was walking doon the street,
  Em        A     D
I met wee Johnny Scobie,
  G             C             G
Says he tae me, "Could ye go a hauf?"
  G         D          G
Says I, "Man that's ma hobby."

Oh we're no awa' tae bide awa'

To Scotland! Now and forever!

We'll aye come back an' see ye.
