Back to Whigs of Fife (2)
WHIGS OF FIFE [2], THE. Scottish, Air (2/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song, fiecely hostile to the Whig party, begins:
O wae to a' the Whigs o' Fife,
The brosy tykes, the lousy tykes,
O wae to a' the Whigs o' Fife,
That e'er they came frae hell!
There's gentle John, and Jock the slorp,
And skellied Jock, and bellied Jock,
And curly Jock, and burly Jock,
And lying Jock himsel.
