lyrics

Back tae the fermin’ and the fishin'

Fit like loon and far’s the oil
It’s a’ nackert an’ the carbon’s in the air
We’ve hid oor perty let doon oor hair
Enjoyed the good times withoot a care
Perty’s ow’r nae point in wishin’
It’s back tae the fermin’ and the fishin’

Bigger bars’n better bars
Sellin’ fancy drinks tae a’ the bar stars
We’ve seen the bad times we’ve seen the good
It’s back tae the sea cause fish’s food
Perty’s ow’r nae point in wishin’
It’s back tae the fermin’ and the fishin’

Cars’ll start goin’ doon the ranks
As the lucre dries up in the banks
Brig o Don micht jist be forc’t
Tae plant oot spuds on its golf course
Perty’s ow’r nae point in wishin’
It’s back tae the fermin’ and the fishin’

Money’s come and money’s gane
But a’hin’ looks aboot the same
Civic thankyous nivur came
Noo a’ the buckie’s doon the drain
Perty’s ow’r nae point in wishin’
It’s back tae the fermin’ and the fishin’
