Well maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong Maybe I shouldn't go singing' this song But a jury decided, and you may as well That a fella like me should be roasting in Hell Now I had a gaffer his name was O'Rourke And he had a terrible passion for work Oh in miles and spades he took all he could see Though he never was greedy, he gave it to me Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I fall Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I dee One day at the work I went round for a smoke The door it burst open and there stood O'Rourke Well he started to swear and he geed me his curse He insulted my Mother and that was far worse When he jumped for my throat and it did me a fright I was quick on my feet though and stepped to the right There was nothing to stop him this terrible man 'Til he landed arse up with his head in the pan Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I fall Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I dee SongtexteI was trembling' wi' fear as his heid gie a thud I looked down and saw that his clashes were aw mud I knew it was certain to upset his wife For they'd never been dirty a day in his life He would need to be cleaned up before he went hame Or else she could never have faced his wee dame Yet it wasnae his claithes was the worst o' his plight For his heid was still stuck there, a terrible sight Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I fall Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I dee I looked down upon him and unbuckled my belt Ye never could feel the compassion I felt I'll wash all his claithes were the words that I said Ach, and while I'm about it, I'll wash the mans head In Barlinnie I wait for the man tae come roond That'll pull on the lever and let me drap doon And they'll pray for O'Rourke as they gie me the tug For they'll hang me th'morra for pulling' the plug Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I fall Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I dee Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I fall Yeuch hi! Yeuch 'til I dee Aus Songtexte Mania
