brings back memories when as a 9 year old we left central station to emigrate to australia and all our relatives sang this as the train pulled out bound for southampton and australia .we used to sing the second verse as ;as i was walkin doon the street i met ma daddy wi his hoarses and he said tae me dae ye want a hurl and a said naw i want a thrupenae .my father used to drive a horse and dray for barrs irn bru
Loved this song since first hearing Andy Stewart singing it at the end of the White Heather concert at Glebe Collegiate when I was about ten years old! Never forgot it! They don't make singers like Andy, Kenneth McKellar, Arthur Spink etc any more!
We are not going away permanently. We are not going because of a wish to leave you. We are not going away permanently. We shall always return and see you again As I was walking down the street, I met young John Scobie. He said to me, "Would you care for a drink?" I replied, "Certainly my friend, that's my hobby!" Here's to the ladies. Bless their hearts. So pretty and so kind. Here's to the ones I love today, and those I've left behind me.And here's to you and here's to me. and wherever we get together we shall raise a glass and drink a toast To Scotland - now and for ever.
Thank you so much for putting this up as it’s a very special song for me as I was only 1 and a half years old when my grandad passed away and I’ve been told that this is a song he used to sing and play to me when I was a baby. Always brings a tear to my eye when I listen to this and think of what a great man he was😢
as I tell my friends who ask if I can speak Scottish, I say, Well you know it is English. HA! No awa..... we'd sing this as kids and then later at family times. Haven't sung it fer a long time.
This song is also known as Carnwath Mill, a famous historical industrial site in Lanarkshire, though there is no mention of it in Andy Stewart's lyrics. At present the mill is sadly neglected.
Andy Stewart RIP Not the greatest Scots singer in the world, by a long shot..Compared to Kenneth McKeller Or Calum Keneddy...But what you did was to deliver well within your limitations....God Bless You Wee Man RIP
Hello dear folks! As a Scottish fun from Turkey, I would like to kindly have the full lyrics of the song by Alex Sutherland Singers called Scottish Fitba' Fun 1. I will be more than happy if i could get the lyrics through one of you. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Whit an ijit ye are what you are trying to talk is a poor version of the Doric or laland tongue depending if you were in the north east or lowlands, the folks of the western isles and highlands spoke the gaelic and the folk of the northern isles had their own tounge based on norn an old Viking tounge. So ye kin tak yer bigotry and shove it up yer jumper.
It loses so much in translation! Oh, we're not going away to stay away We;re not going away to leave you We're not going away to stay away We'll still come back and see you As I was walking down the street, I met little Johnny Scobie Says he to me; Do you fancy a half? (pint/drink.beer) Says I "Man, that's my hobby!"
stevoid99 Thanks for taking the time to explain. yes, it does lose a bit in translation. I was in the Australian Army in a unit with quite a few 'jocks" and they were always singing this in the mess when the beer was flowing. The combined effect of the beer and their enthusiasm meant that we sasenachs couldn't make out what the hell they were singing about!
My gran used to sing that to me and my brother and sister a long time ago. I'm 60 now. Happy days.
My dad used to sing this song to me, among other Scottish classics, at bedtime when I was 2-4 years old. Unlocks a special feeling in my heart.

I feel sorry for every Scot that comes to Australia, I'm doing everything I can to git tae fuck and move to Scotland.

I just fell in love with Scotland when I was there, such a beautiful country.

Death has no sting for a real Scot.
I drove him from Long Island to his hotel in the city back in the 60's.
