Ah bought a wife in Edinbourgh fur a baw bee
And then I got a penny back tae buy tabaccy wi
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad .
[Verse]
Well Samson was a michty man and he fed on fish and chips
He bauchled round the Gallowgate just pickin up the dips
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad .

Now Solomon and David led very wicked lives
Winchin every evening wi other peoples wives
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad .

Now Britainâs quite a country wi strikes n droughts n such
One day weâve got nae water and the next too bloody much
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad .
[Verse]
This countryâs in an awfy mess itâs mortgaged to the hilt
If they get their way at Westminster theyâll pawn your bloody kilt
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad .

Now Johnny was a bonnie lad until they took him in
He had his operation and now they call him Mary!
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shoe wi you my Johnny lad
[Chorus]
And wi you and wi you and wi you, Johnny lad
I ll dance the buckles off my shin wi you my Johnny lad .
