about

Traditional Scottish song.

lyrics

Jock Hawk

To Glasga toon I went ae nicht to spend my penny fee,
And a bonnie lass did soon consent to bear my company,
I said I was a ploughman lad and a stranger to this toon,
She said: "That needn’t hinder ye to jog it up and doon."

So we happened on Jamaica Street down by the Broomielaw,
And the organ lads played rich and sweet, the fiddlers ane or twa.
And as we walked into the crowd I could hear the people say,
“There goes Jock Hawk, he has a miss but he’ll repent the day”.

So we ga’ed into a tavern then and I ca'd out for gin,
And the lads and lassies all looked round, and smiled as we cam' in.
The sailor lads all shook my hand, a welcome right and free
And ilka toast that ere they gave was the bonnie young lass and me.

Now the spree went on wi' mirth and sang till daylight did appear,
And the bosun of the ship stood up and said, "Lads on deck appear!"
The lassies gave a parting kiss, the lads all said goodbye,
The hindmost ane as he went oot said: "Jock, you've a' to pay."

Now my heart went down into my boots as he went out the door,
And the landlord took ahold of me, said, “lad now, pay your score”.
I reached my hand into my pouch, laid all my money down,
And I kenn’d it wisnae near enough by the way that he did frown.

And he took from me my watch and chain, my spleuchan and my knife,
It’s a wonder that he didna take my wee bit spunk o' life.
He took from me my Sunday Coat, my waistcoat and my shin,
And as for my hat, I ne’er seen that since I first ca’d out for gin.

So come a’ ye brisky young ploughman lads and a warning take from me,
And ne’er go down to Glasgow town to spend your penny fee,
For when I got out of that auld place sae naked and sae bare,
I’ll ne’er gae down to Glesca town to spend the spree nae mair.

about

Dick Hensold Saint Paul, Minnesota

“What I love about Dick and Patsy’s duo is that their music deeply satisfies both the die-hard lover of traditional music, and those with little experience of this kind of music. Virtuosity, wit, and great stage chemistry will do that.” — Kevin Carr
