lyrics

Berry Toon

Chorus
We’re aff tae the berries We’re aff tae the berries
We’re aff tae the berries On the bonnie hills o’ Blair
We’re gaen’ tae the berries We’re gaen’ tae the berries
We’re gaen’ tae the berries Hope the weather’s fair
Get a bit o’ money Get a bit o’ money
Get a bit o’ money At the berry fields o’ Blair

Verse 1
We’re a’ gae’n up tae Blair For the Glesca fare
Hopin’ that the rain bides aff No askin’ ony mair
I’ll fill ma luggie tae the tap An’ git ma thrupn’y bit
Then I’ll awa an’ hae mee piece Be gled tae hae a sit

Chorus

Verse 2
We a’ live the githur In the place called Berry Toon
We get fed and bide a’ week Fur less than half a croon
It’s just like a holiday We dinna hae tae mooch
We work hard oot in the fields Git money in oor pouch

Chorus

Verse 3
The luggie’s contents wasps an a’ Tipped in tae the mash
The scratchin’s what a’ dinna like If a get the berry rash
Pickin’ clean’s what fermer wants And he is always right
The Raspberry Special chuggs of south And races through the night

Chorus
