Johnny Ra
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
I’m Johnny Ra, I’m a canny soul
I was brought up in the country
Nae doubt you’ll mebbe no ken me weel
Cos I’m a’ the way fae Fintry
Altho’ I’m boosey yet I’m fly
Among the lasses I do pry
But they all shout as they go by
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
I’d my eye on a lass for a gey lang time
She was a carter’s daughter
At last I thought I’d make her mine
And a wedding ring I bought her
Says I, my lass, just be sincere
Name the day and be my dear
But she laughed as she whispered in my ear
I wisht yer granny saw ye
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death now Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
At night as I walk down Argyle Street
A lady said, “Oh, please, sir
Will ye hold my little baby sweet
Cos I’m feared the crowd might squeeze her?”
I took the bairn and I said I would,
I like to do the ladies good
But she disappeared intae the crowd
Sayin, I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
The people gathered round about
They smiled at my condition
Then up come two big policemen stout
And they took me to the station.
Tae laugh at me they a’ began
They said that I was a lucky man
For tae have a bairn brought tae my hand
And I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Before the bailiff the next day
I made my simple statement
About how the lady ran away
And she left me with the infant.
And then the bailiff he did say
You and the child maun go away
Never trust what the ladies say
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
Tuts gae awa’ ye mean tae blaw
I ken ye’re up tae a thing or twa
Sure as death, now, Johnny Ra
I wisht yer granny saw ye!
