Da Trowie Song
Tae a peerie loch across da hill dir runs a trowie burn,
An folk dat wander dare at night see trows at ivery turn.
We dir peerie wands an dir sheenie hands an claas upo dir taes,
An if do meets a neebir man he’ll turn tae dee an say,
Is du been awar o ony trows daday
Been awar o ony trows,
Dir da wildest pest dit dus herd ur seen
An dey gluff dee we dir blood red een
An da warst een o dem a
Is da peerie heathen wi just da wan claa
He’ll cloore dee an devour dee claes an a’
Is du been awar o’ ony trows
At da height o’ da night dey light dir peerie lights an dance da trowie reel
Dey twist an dey turn at da broo abun da burn an sing dir sangs as weel
Dan dey set to watch for da folk to catch gluff an shaest dem o’er da rodds
Dey giggle an dey girn when dey see you’ve gotten tirn an hoid among da
clods.
