Weary Of The Darning

Here's a tinkler seekin' rags
Seekin' rags, an' seekin' rags
He begs wi' plea that never flags
Though Collie growls a warnin'
What's the use of comin' here?
We're sillerless wi' little gear

All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin' a' the rags we hae
And weary o' the darnin'

Here's a man wha winnae ploo
Winnae ploo, wha winnae ploo
Ne'er a thowt tae keep a coo
He cinnoe thole the farmin'
Cauld the wind wi' whist-le seeks
The muckle holes in Willie's breeks

All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin' a' the rags we hae
And weary o' the darnin'

In an oot the needle flies
Needle flies, the needle flies
We've patches here o' sic a size
'Twill keep her goin' 'til morning
Gang we all wi' tattered sarks
While faither's creels lie oot o' work

All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin' a' the rags we hae
And weary o' the darnin'

Here's a tinkler seekin' rags
Seekin' rags, an' seekin' rags
He begs wi' plea that never flags
Though Collie growls a warnin'
What's the use of comin' here?
We're sillerless wi' little gear

All the time the billows roar
Men wha fish must bide ashore
So come ye back some ither day
Ither day, some ither day
Wur wearin' a' the rags we hae
And weary o' the darnin'
