THE SOUTERS O' SELKIRK

Brian Johnstone-Vocal & b'dr'n. Gail Gibbard-N.S.P.

1. It's up wi' the Souters o' Selkirk an' doon wi' the Earl o' Hume,
An' here's tae a' the braw ladies that wear the single-shod shoon.
It's up wi' the Souters o' Selkirk, for they are baith trusty an' leal,
An' up wi the lads o' the forest an' doon wi' the Merse to the Deil. 

2. It's fye upon yellow and yellow an' fye upon yellow an' green,
But up wi' the true blue an' scarlet an' up wi' the single-shod shoon.
It's up wi' the Souters o' Selkirk, for they are baith trusty an' leal,
An' up wi the men o' the forest an' doon wi' the Merse to the Deil. 

3. O! Mitres are made for noddles but feet they are made for shoon;
An' fame is as sib tae Selkirk as licht is as true tae the moon.
There sits a Souter in Selkirk, wha sings as he draws his thread.
There's gallant Souters in Selkirk, as long as there's water in Tweed.
