Lyrics:
Come all you true-born Glasgow boys And listen to my song I'm going to speak of Hogmanay It won't detain you long I've made this little tune for you I've laid it on my whistle And I think the name I'll gi'e to it Is The Shamrock and the Thistle
Aboard the Royal Ulsterman We had a dram or twa When daylight broke we all awoke And saw the Broomielaw The journey o'er, we went ashore Our friends all raised a cheer And soon the word was going round The Irishmen are here
We were not rash, we wore no sash We sang no party lay For we had come to join the fun A real Scotch Hogmanay We marched up to Argyle Street Bought whisky, stout and rum And the songs we sang were Sweet Strabane And Britain Here We Come
A welcome rare we soon got there It was a glorious fair Bill Thompson cried, Get that inside I see you're needing fare So when we'd had a tite o' there(?) And feeling in good trim Bill said, Come on, I'm for the Tron So we went along wi' him
Many's the hoolie we've been at At home across the sea And at New Year wi' stout and beer We'd go upon the spree And the Scots they don't just make whoopee (?) Or drink with Mum and Dad At the thirty-first of December, boys They all go ravin' mad
Forgive me, friends, for being rude I'm not, you will agree The Irish too are a crazy crew Just look at Bob and me For a Scotsman seeing the New Year in Is a sight for gods and men And it takes an Irish Paddy, boys To be equal to him then
For the Scotsmen have their thistle And the Welshmen have their leek The English have a rose, my boys And lots of flamin' cheek The Irish have their shamrock and They hold it very dear But you'll find it wi' the thistle In auld Glasgow at New Year
