Bands o shearers-Ewan MacColl

Scots lyrics:
-When simmer dies an heather bells
Com rickin o'er yon hieland hills,
Thare's yella corn in yonder fields
An the autumn brings a shearin!
Sing bonnie lassie will ye gang,
An shear wi me the hail day lang?
An luv will cheer us as we gang
When we join yon band o shearers!
An gif the fessel it be strang
That it wed hurt yer milk-white haund,
It's wi ma hock A'll cut it doun,
When we join 'at baund o shearers!
An if the weather it be hot,
A'll cast off ma vest an coat,
An we'll com tae thrieves amang yon lot,
When we'll join yon band o shearers!
An when the shearin is all don,
We'll hae som rantin rovin fun,
We'll hae som rantin rovin fun,
An forget a' the tiles o shearin!
-Singin bonnie laddie A will gang
An shear wi you the hail day lang,
An luv will join as haund in haund
We'll forget all the tiles o shearin!
