FOONDRY LANE (someone has now painted over this plate)
Mary Brooksbank
There’s a Juter and a Battener
Sailing up the Tay,
And a’ the wives in Foondry Lane
Are singing blithe the day.
There’ll be pennies for the bairnies,
A pint for JOck and Tam,
Money for the picters,
The auld fowk get a dram.
We’ll gie the secks the go by,
We canna sew and eat,
And fivepence for twenty-five
Will no buy muckle meat.
We’ll hae steak and ingins frying,
Lift oor claes a’oot the pawn,
We’ll gaither wulks and boil them
In a corn beef can.
