I have travelled roon' this country

Tae the jungles o' Lochore

But in all these far flung places

   G
Noo she hasnae got nae culture
      C
And she drives me roon' the bend
   D
She sits every night in an old arm chair
  D          G
Readin' the "People's Friend"
    G
Her lapels are fu' o' badges

Frae Butlins doon at Ayr
