The Scots [a Dirge]

Black Scots and red Scots,
Red Scots and black;
I hae dealt wi- the red Scot,
An- dealt wi- the black.
The Red Scot is angry
Among the sons o- men-
He-ll pay you a bawbee,
An- steal it back again.

Black Scots and red Scots,
Red Scots and black;
I hae dealt wi- the red Scot,
An- dealt wi- the black.

The Black Scot is frien-ly-
A brither an- a--
He-ll pay you a bawbee,
An- steal back twa.

The Ginger Scot o- a- Scots,
The warst shade o- Scot,
For he-ll pay ye naething,
An- tak- a- you-ve got.

Black Scots and red Scots,
Short Scots an- lang,
Ginger Scots an- bald Scots-
I dealt wi- the gang.
