Oh I am a Dundee weaver and I come fray' bonny Dundee I met a Glasgy' fairlay and teachin' courting me He took me ou' to walking dun by the Calvin Ha' And there the Dundee be rascal sto' I thinkin' me jig awa' There the Dundee be rascal sto' Me thinkin' me jig awa' He took me ou' to walking dun by the rocking glen He show to me the bonny wi' bought And he showed me the bonny wi' had He show to me the bonny wi' bought Fray linen tay a co' And he showed to me the bob that sho' That thinkin' me jig awa' He showed to me the bob that sho' That thinkin' me jig awa' Do I'll gang back to Dundee locking bonny all in fair I'll put on me buckle and shoe and tie up my bonny bloom hair I'll put on the corset tight to mak' my bonny look small And wa' ma' canning me rosy chicks I thinking me jigs awa' And wa' ma' canning me rosy chicks I thinkin' me jigs awa' O' all you Dundee weavers tak' this advise by me Never let a fairlay an inch abov' your knee Never stond' the back of ye' clothes or up again' the wa' For if you' di' can safely say I thinkin' me jigs awa' For if you' di' can safely say I thinkin' me jigs awa'
