[G]
[A] [E] Come bonnie lass lie near me, [Bm] and let the [Em]
brandy cheer ye,
For [Bm] the road from Fife to [Em]
Falkirk's [A] lang, and cauldron wets [E] and weary,
I trares the weaving, [A] and the [Bm] bonnie tune a [Em]-leaving,
And [Bm] we'll drink to the health of the [A] femmers' [E] dames,
O'er by her [A] cliffs the moorin', for you can [Bm] see them [Em] all,
The [Bm] lads o' [A] the fair, lads [D] frae the [Em] forth and the carron,
[A] What a workin' lads and lads we give, lads that [D] sell you the [E] poorest [A] daughter,
Soldiers back frae the German wars, headlers up frae [E] the border,
[D] And [A] lassies we an eye [B] for mev and [F#m] the kye,
[E] At the triest and fair oot [A] Falkirk [E] come Jordie,
O'er the pony, [D] for the path is steep [A] and stony,
[Bm] And we're three lang weeks frae the high of [D] Skye,
And we'll be certain [C#] and [B] bonnie, [E] we'll tag last to the cellar,
And [Bm] we'll buy [F#m] ourselves a gelore or [G] two,
And we'll drink to the lads o' by our [Em] kye, in [Bm] Falkirk, [D] to the moor,
[A] For you can see [D] them [Em] all, the [Bm] lads o' the [A] fair,
[D] Lads frae the forth [E] and the carron,
[A] What a [Em] workin' [A] lads and lads we give, lads that sell [Bm] you the [E] poorest [A] daughter,
Soldiers back frae the German wars, headlers up [Em] frae the border,
[D] And [Em] lassies we an [B] eye for mev [F#m] and the kye,

[A] [E]
[D] [A] [E]
Stand here and I'll show ye, [D]
there's the toon below [Em] ye,
But [Bm] you'd best wait [E] here and upon [A] the next,
For the night's [E] watched and you know ye,
My brother he's a ploughman, [A] and I'm [Bm] for the fee and no [E] man,
[D] And we'll drink to the price of the [A] harvest corn,
[E] In Falkirk [A] to the moor,

[D] And lassies [A] we an [B] eye for mev [F#m] and the kye,
[D] At the [A] triest and fair oot [E] Falkirk,
Oh the work of the [Em] weaver's over, [D] like wise the [A] days of the drover,
[Bm] And the ploughboy [F#m] sits on a tractor, no too [D] high to see [Em] the [B] clover,
[E] The workin's no so steady, but [Bm] the lads are iced [F#m] already,
[Bm] For to drink a [A] health to the [Bm] workin' man in Falkirk to the [D] moor,
For [A] you can [D] see them [Em] all, the lads [A] o' the fair,
Lads [D] frae the [E] forth and the carron,
