Rattling Roaring Willie
Sheet Music (and more information about this song)
Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, oh, he held tae the fair,
All for to sell his fiddle, an' buy some other ware,
But parting wi' his fiddle, the saut tear blint his e'e
Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, ye're welcome hame tae me.
Oh, Willie, come sell your fiddle, come sell your fiddle sae fine!
Oh, Willie, come sell your fiddle, and buy a pint o' wine!
If I should sell my fiddle, the world would think I was mad,
For many a rantin' day my fiddle an' I hae had.
As I cam' by Crochallan, I cannily keekit ben.
Oh, rattlin', roaring' Willie was sittin' at yon boord-en'.
Sittin' at yon boord-en', and amang guid company.
Oh, rattlin', roarin' Willie, ye're welcome hame tae me.
