There Are No Pubs in Kirkintilloch Lyrics
In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs
And I'm sure you'll wonder why
My brother and me, we went on a spree
We drank the pubs all dry, all dry
Drank the pubs all dry
My Granpaw he worked doon the pit
And so did my faither tae
You work like a mule when you leave the school
And you drink on a Saturday, my lads
You drink on a Saturday
The gaffer doon the pit my lads
Could scarce believe his een
For my brother and me we hawked more coal
Than his latest cuttin' machine, my lads
His latest cuttin' machine
My father he was a Glasgow man
My mother come frae Troon
They both did say the other day
It's time you settled doon, my lads
It's time you settled doon
So I think I'll just get married lads
And have a family tae
Then we'll use our mits and work in the pits
And drink on a Saturday, my lads
And drink on a Saturday
And I'm sure you'll wonder why
My brother and me, we went on a spree
We drank the pubs all dry, all dry
Drank the pubs all dry
And so did my faither tae
You work like a mule when you leave the school
And you drink on a Saturday, my lads
You drink on a Saturday
Could scarce believe his een
For my brother and me we hawked more coal
Than his latest cuttin' machine, my lads
His latest cuttin' machine
My mother come frae Troon
They both did say the other day
It's time you settled doon, my lads
It's time you settled doon
And have a family tae
Then we'll use our mits and work in the pits
And drink on a Saturday, my lads
And drink on a Saturday
