Alexander Rodger

Me mither mend’t me auld breeks,
But ay! but they were diddy;
She sent me to get shod the mare
At Robbie Tamson’s smiddie.
Now t’ smiddie lies ayent the burn
That wamples thro’ the claughin’
And ne’er a time I pass that way
But aye I fall a-laughin’.

CHORUS:
Singing fol lol de lol de rol,
Ri fol lol de laddy,
Sing fol de du-y, du-y day,
Sing fol de du-y daddy.

The song was recorded by the Tannahill Weavers, who used a different melody in 6/8 time (a variant of "Piper o' Dundee (The)").
