Roaring Jack - La** From Yarrow lyrics

Under the bridge when you kissed me goodbye I'd have kissed you right back if I wasn't too shy But the chance it was lost in the sweet bye and bye And the big yin swept you away I thought of you often when I was alone The things I would say to make you my own The way it came out was too close to the bone And the big yin swept you away Cap and scarf I'd cast away Barefoot on a summer's day Picking berries on the brae With the bonnie la** from Yarrow Lie down on a bed of broom Careful not to come too soon On a Sunday afternoon With a whiskey in the jar-o On a Saturday night I was greased up and starched Drunk at a dance at the Methodist church I couldn't say nothing I stood there and watched And the big yin swept you away He was smarter than me with the gift of the gob Kicked out of school and twice round the block I took a bus home and you went for a walk With the big yin that swept you away Cap and scarf I cast away… I was taking it slow when it should have been fast Getting it wrong when it should have been sussed Losing my head in a bucket of piss And watching you slipping away I missed you like hell for a moment or two I miss you right now but there's nothing to do I bid you good luck and a hell of a screw With the big yin that swept you away
