[Intro]
[Verse]
Here s a tinkler seekin rags
Seekin rags, an seekin rags
He begs wi plea that never flags
Though Collie growls a warnin
What s the use of comin here?
We re sillerless wi little gear
[Chorus]
All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin a the rags we hae
And weary o the darnin
[Verse]
Here s a man wha winnae ploo
Winnae ploo, wha winnae ploo
Ne er a thowt tae keep a coo
He cinnoe thole the farmin
Cauld the wind wi whistle seeks
The muckle holes in Willie s breeks
[Chorus]
All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin a the rags we hae
And weary o the darnin
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
In an oot the needle flies
Needle flies, the needle flies
We ve patches here o sic a size
Twill keep her goin til morning
Gang we all wi tattered sarks
While faither s creels lie oot o work
[Chorus]
All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin a the rags we hae
And weary o the darnin
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Here s a tinkler seekin rags
Seekin rags, an seekin rags
He begs wi plea that never flags
Though Collie growls a warnin
What s the use of comin here?
We re sillerless wi little gear
[Chorus]
All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin a the rags we hae
And weary o the darnin
