Gallus Bloke [English translation]

(REF)

Oh yer ma wee gallus bloke nae mair

Yer ma wee gallus bloke nae mair

Wi' yer bell blue stride, yer bonnet tae the side

Yer ma wee gallus bloke nae mair

As I went by the sweetie works my heart began to beat

Watching all the factory lassies walking doon the street

Wi' their flashy dashy petticoats, flashy dashy shawls

Five and a tanner gutty boots we're all wee gallus molls

(REF)

Now Scots it is a novel tongue, the meaning's hard to tell

It's in aboot an' hae nae doot it's tapsel teary'll

But we are only doin' our best, we try to do it well

But what this song is all about we dinae ken oursel'
