Heres a Health tae the Sauters

歌詞

In the village o' Saut Preston Whaur the maister's auld Cadell For he owns five branders on the Forth And the coal to fire them as well My faither's ta'en his oan coast shin Just to feed his bairns and wife Aye, and when that bloody deed was done Ah was thirled for a' my life Here's a health tae the sauters And the white gowd they make Here's a health tae the sauters That drink in the Land o'Cakes Noo a' the sauters ken me For they cry me Puddock Wull Ah was boo-leggit when Ah was born And by god, Ah'm that way still Aye, but Ah can swim like ony fish That sair com oot the sea Ay tae fetch the buckets the furthest oot There is nane as good as me Here's a health tae the sauters And the white gowd they make Here's a health tae the sauters That drink in the Land o'Cakes An' Ah've manned these brands these last ten years Ah've worked as fast as Ah can For every box a sauter fills There's copper in his hand But the grieve he is a dowsie raif An' he hates us every yin For he wad make your level drop So ye maun dae anither rin Here's a health tae the sauters And the white gowd they make Here's a health tae the sauters That drink in the Land o'Cakes [Instrumental] Here's luck tae the sautwork smugglers Aye, an' keep them frae the gaugers' hands For they only tak' what they can spread Tae the puir folk that hae nane For they tax the saut a'heavy And it shouldnae be taxed at a' No it shouldnae be just for the rich There's enough here for us a' Here's a health tae the sauters And the white gowd they make Here's a health tae the sauters That drink in the Land o'Cakes Here's a health tae the sauters And the white gowd they make Here's a health tae the sauters That drink in the Land o'Cakes
