O noo I'm tired o my farm work

Bothy ballad

O noo I'm tired o my farm work
Noo I'm tired o my labor
I'm goin awa doon tae the games
I'm a try and toss the caber
Refrain:
Wi ma doo dum day ma diddy dum da
Ma diddy dum doo dum diddy o.

2. I gangs doon tae the games park
The first thing I did see
Was twenty kilted Highland lads
A-gathered roon a tree
Refrain: 3. They were frs in their Sunday best
Babies in their prams
But me just like a muckle fool
There in ma knickie tams
Refrain: 4. Then a lassie she cries oot
Jack, she cries tae me
Come show these kilted Highland lads
The way to toss a tree
Refrain: 5. Noo I been fed on tattie kale
I been fed on br(?)
But hoo I'm gaunnie toss this tree
O God he only knows
Refrain: 6. So I taks twa stepd forward
My banes they gan a crack
O and the next thing that I ken
I was lyin on my back
Refrain: 7. Noo I hae courted the maidens
Aroon the barn door
But to lie and cuddle a big pine tree
I never done before
Refrain: 8. For to mak yer fortune at the games
It's a thing ye canna do
So I warn all yous plowman lads
Jus bide behind yer plow
Refrain:
