Both Sides of the Forth

##(from MacGintys Meal and Ale)##
This is nae a sang o' love, nor yet a sang o' money
Faith, it's naethin' very pitiful, it's naethin' very funny
But there's Hieland Scotch, Lowland Scotch, butterscotch and honey
If there's nane o' them for a' there's a mixture o' the three
And there's nae a word o' beef, brose, sowens, sauty bannocks
Na, nor pancakes, peas, eggs, for them wi' dainty stomachs
But it's a' aboot a meal and ale that happened at Balmunnocks
Aye, MacGinty's meal and ale whaur the pig gaed on the spree

For they were howlin' in the kitchen like a caravan o' tinkies
Aye, some were playing ping-pong, tiddly widdly winkies
For up the howe, doon the howe, ye never saw such jinkies
As MacGinty's meal and ale whaur the pig gaed on the spree

##(from Hey, Caa Thro)##
Up wi the carles o Dysart
An the lads o Buckhaven
An the kimmers o Largo
An the lasses o Leven

Hey, caa thro, caa thro
For we hae mickle ado
Hey, caa thro, caa thro
For we hae mickle ado

We hae tales tae tell
An we hae sangs tae sing
We hae pennies tae spend
An we hae pints tae bring

We'll live aa our days
An thaim that comes behin
Let thaim dae the like
An spend the gear thae win

##(from As I Gaed in by Fisherraw)##
As A gaed in by Fisherraw,
Musselburgh wis near me
A tuik aff ma musselpyock
An courtit wi ma dearie

Up stairs, doun stairs,
Timmer stairs fears me
A thocht it lang tae lie ma lane
Whan A'm sae near ma dearie

Had her apron bidden doun
The kirk wad ne'er hae kent it
But sin the talk's about the toun
Ma dear A cannae mend it

Bit ye maun tae the cutty stool
An A maun tae the pillar
That's the wey the puir folks dae
Because thae hae nae siller
