For as I gaed doon the Overgate I met a bonny wee lass<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For she winked tae me with the tail o’ her e’e as I went rovin past<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wi my rovin eye faldi diddle di wi my rovin eye dum derry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wi my rovin eye faldi diddle di wi my rovin eye dum derry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a’ nicht long I dreamed I was lying in the airms o’ Jemima Rose
But when I awoke I was lying on my back at the back o’ the Beefcan Close
Come a’ ye jolly ploo men lads that stay oot after dark
taker yer siller frae your inside pooch and tie it to the tail o’ your sark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
