YE MAUN AYE KEEP MOVING ON
Noo, freen’s, I’ve lately come tae hear,
To keep our busy corners clear,
Though ye’ve not had a drop of beer,
Ye maun aye keep moving on.
When stan’in’ crackin’ on the street,
A bobby ye should chance tae meet,
He’ll gar ye quickly lift yer feet –
Gar ye aye keep moving on.
Yestreen when I was hurrying hame,
An auld acquaintance called my name;
But whene’er I halted a bobby came,
Gar’d us keep moving on.
Noo, freen’s, when stan’in’ in the street,
Ye maun watch the bobby on his beat,
Or he’ll land ye in a snug retreat,
Or gar ye keep moving on.
