    The wind, and the wind, and the wind blows high
    And smoke comes falling frae the sky
    Jenny MacPherson says she'll die
    For the want of the Golden City

    She is handsome, she is pretty
    She's the girl of the windy city
    She has lovers one, two, three
    Come and tell me who will be

    Johnny Martin says he loves her
    All the boys are thinking of her
    Jenny MacPherson says she'll die
    If whe doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye

    When she gets a love of her own
    She won't tell her ma when she gets home
    Let them all come as they will
    Johnny Martin loves her still

    I'm not going to the parish trip
    No I'm not going again
    I'm not going to the parish trip
    For it a'ways comes on rain

    I'm not going to the parish trip
    No I'm not going at all
    I'm not going to the parish trip
    For it a'ways comes on snaw

    Oor wee school's the best wee school
    It's made with bricks and plaster
    The only thing that's wrong with it
    Is a baldy-headed master
    He goes to the pub on Saturday
    Goes to church on Sunday
    To pray to God to give him strength
    To murder the weans on Monday

    I'll tell the bobby, I'll tell the bobby,
    I'll tell the bobby
    If you lay a hand on me

    Fifteen days in the clink-shop
    Fifteen days in the clink-shop
    Fifteen days in the clink-shop
    If you lay a hand on me

    Oh the grand old Duke of York
    He had ten thousand men
    He marched them up to the top of the hill
    And he marched them down again
    And when they were up, they were up
    And when they were down, they were down
    And when they were only halfway up
    They were neither up nor down

    You canna shove your granny aff the bus
    You canna shove your granny aff the bus
    You canna shove your granny,
    For she's your mammy's mammy
    You canna shove your granny aff the bus

    You can shove your other granny aff the bus
    You can shove your other granny aff the bus
    You can shove your other granny
    For she's your daddy's mammy
    You can shove your other granny aff the bus

    Singing I will if you will so will I
    Singing I will if you will so will I
    I will if you will, I will if you will
    I will if you will so will I
