At a relic aul` croft upon the hill, Roon the neuk frae Sprottie`s mill, Tryin` a` his life tae jine the kill Lived Geordie MacIntyre. He had a wife as sweir`s himsel` An` a daughter as black`s Auld Nick himsel`. There wis some fun - haud awa` the smell- At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. Chorus: For the graip was tint, the besom was deen, The barra widna row its leen, An`siccan a soss it never was seen At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. For the daughter had to strae and neep The auld wife started to swipe the greep When Geordie fell sklite on a rotten neep At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. Ben the greep cam` Geordie`s soo She stood up ahint the coo The coo kickit oot an` o whit a stew At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. (Chorus) For the aul` wife she was booin` doon - The soo was kickit on the croon It shoved her heid in the wifie`s goon Then ben through Geordie`s byre. The daughter cam thro the barn door An` seein` her mother let oot a roar, To the midden she ran an` fell ower the boar At the muckin` of Geordie`s byre. (Chorus) For the boar he lap the midden dyke An` ower the riggs wi` Geordie`s tyke. They baith ran intil a bumbee`s byke At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. The cocks an` hens began to craw When Biddy astride the soo they saw The postie`s shelty ran awa` At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. (Chorus) O a hunder` years are passed an mair Whaur Sprottie`s wis, the hill is bare; The croft`s awa`, sae ye`ll see nae mair At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. His folks a` deid an` awa` lang syne In case his memory we should tyne, Whistle this tune tae keep ye in min` At the muckin` o` Geordie`s byre. (Chorus)SourceThe script ran 0.001 seconds.
