Jock Hawk’s Adventures in Glasgow lyrics

To Glesca toon I came ane nicht

To spend my penny fee;

A bonnie wee lass consented

To give me company

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

We went intae a tavern

And I ca'd up some gin

And a' the folk aboot the place

They smiled as we come in

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

We hadnae been in half an hour

When in came half a score

O' sailor lads and queans sae braw

I never saw before

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

They drank the malt, they drank the gin

They drank it a' richt free

And every ane aye drank success

To the bonnie wee lass and me.

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

The nicht did pass wi' mirth and sang

Till day was drawin’ near

And then the boozey bosun cried,

"All hands on deck appear!"

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

The lassies gave a parting kiss

The lads they said “Goodbye”

The hindmost ane as he went oot

Said, "Jock ye' ve a' to pay."

I cam' into the world a bairn

Sae naked and sae bare

I‘ll gae' oot the same frae Glesca Toon

And I'll never gang nae mair.

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day,

Tum a hi tum a-do,

Tum a hi tum day
