The Heiland House Hunter lyrics

(REF)

Roamin' for a home in the bonnie countryside

Roamin' in the gloamin', just a place for me to buy

When the sun has gone to rest, I'll be either east or west

It's bloody lonely roamin' in the gloamin'

Cold winter was coming o'er me on this mountain

Thick was the mud, caked up to ma knees

I was there in response tae an ad in the paper

A fine country house shaded gently by trees

Well at length wi' a howe and some hard work behind me

The remains of a house, it won't do I could see

It appeared at an angle, its featureless form

Was leaning towards me at sixty degrees

So here's to the lawyer, I ne'er will forgive him

For sending me up wi' a spruce in the trees

And I hope that his breeks and his trusts will allow him

His missive and scrolls dangle doon tae his knees

(REF)

By yon bonnie banks where they say the money stays

And I heard they took an interest in accounting

But when I asked for an advance, they said no f----ing chance

So I left a wee deposit in their fountain

Then I took the high road and I took the low road

But I couldnae get them baith in my lorry

So I took this forest track--ah but they made me bid it back

'Cause they said that it belonged tae an English Tory
