Kirkintilloch

In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs

And I'm sure you'll wonder why

My brother and me, we went on a spree

We drank the pubs a' dry, a' dry

Drank the pubs a' dry

My Granpaw he worked down the pit

And so did my faither tae

You work like a mule when you leave the school

And you drink on a Saturday, my lads

You drink on a Saturday

In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs

And I'm sure you'll wonder why

My brother and me, we went on a spree

We drank the pubs a' dry, a' dry

Drank the pubs a' dry

The gaffer doon the pit my lads

Could scarce believe his een

For my brother and me we howked mair coal

Than his latest cuttin' machine, my lads

His latest cuttin' machine

In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs

And I'm sure you'll wonder why

My brother and me, we went on a spree

We drank the pubs a' dry, a' dry

Drank the pubs a' dry

My faither he was a Glesga man

And my mother come fae Troon

They baith did say the other day

It's time you settled doon, my lads

It's time you settled doon

In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs

And I'm sure you'll wonder why

My brother and me, we went on a spree

We drank the pubs a' dry, a' dry

Drank the pubs a' dry

So I think I'll just get married lads

And hae a family tae

Then we'll use our mits and work in the pits

And drink on a Saturday, my lads

And drink on a Saturday

In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs

And I'm sure you'll wonder why

My brother and me, we went on a spree

We drank the pubs a' dry, a' dry

Drank the pubs a' dry
