I've been wi' a couple o' cronies, <br />One or two pals o' my ain; <br />We went in a hotel, and we did very well, <br />And then we came out once again; <br />Then we went into anither, <br />And that is the reason I'm fu'; <br />We had six deoch-an-doruses, then sang a chorus, <br />Just listen, I'll sing it to you: <br /> <br /> I belong to Glasgow, <br /> Dear old Glasgow town; <br /> But what's the matter wi' Glasgow, <br /> For it's goin' roun' and roun'! <br /> I'm only a common old working chap, <br /> As anyone here can see, <br /> But when I get a couple o' drinks on a Saturday, <br /> Glasgow belongs to me! <br /> <br />There's nothing in keeping your money, <br />And saving a shilling or two; <br />If you've nothing to spend, then you've nothing to lend, <br />Why that's all the better for you; <br />There no harm in taking a drappie, <br />It ends all your trouble and strife; <br />It gives ye the feeling that when you get home, <br />You don't give a hang for the wife! <br />(traditionalmusic.co.uk)
