Chimney sweeps - factory fodder
doon the pit - wae durty watter
barefoot - the weans in rags
sweating crying - shake wae fear
nae ma or da - tae comfort here
nae cuddle or smile - fur me tae show
soft whispers - gentle touch - tickle talk laugh
your ain wee world - ma lovely son
yer mammys boy seven year old
aff tae bed - startin work - before the dawn.

Come here son - come here tae yur da
ma bonnie bonnie boy - ma herts desire
here yur piece - an yur watter
doon ye go noo doon ye go noo

"Schooldays over, come on then John
Time to be getting your pit boots on
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
Time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning a pitman's pay.

Come on then Jim, it's time to go
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
You start at the pits today
Time to be learning the collier's job
And earning a collier's pay.

Come on then Dai, it's nearly light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner's job
And earning a miner's pay"

The whistle blows it's 5PM - pipes an thunder - tartan mayhem
here we come - feel the roar - jumping up when we score
123 before half time - hear us shout - see us shine
the second half a different team - Italians look mad an mean
O no - jist a dream - better go - tae glesga green

Come on Scotland
