Вступление
[Verse 1]
I have travelled roon' this country
From shore tae shining shore
Frae the swamps o' Auchterderan
Tae the jungles o' Lochore
But in all these far flung places
There's none that can compare
Wi' the Lily o' Lumphinnans
She's ma bonnie Maggie Blair
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a Kelty Clippie
She'll no' tak' nae advice
It's "Ach drap deid, awa' bile yer heid
Or Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waister
Her mother's on the game
She's just a Kelty Clippie
But I love her just the same.
[Verse 2]
Frae the pyramids up in Kelty
Tae the mansions in Glencraig
We've trod the bings together
In mony's the blyth Stravaig
Watched the moonlight over Crosshill
Trod Buckhaven's golden sand
And mony's the happy oor we've spent
In Lochgelly's Happy Land
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a Kelty Clippie
She'll no' tak' nae advice
It's "Ach drap deid, awa' bile yer heid
Or Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waister
Her mother's on the game
She's just a Kelty Clippie
But I love her just the same.
[Verse 3]
Well I met her on the "eight fifteen"
That night o' romantic bliss
I says "Hey Mag pit doon yer fag
And gie's a wee bit kiss"
Well she didnae take that kindly
No she didnae like ma chaff
And bein' a contrary kind o' lass
She says "Come oan -get aff."
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a Kelty Clippie
She'll no' tak' nae advice
It's "Ach drap deid, awa' bile yer heid
Or Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waister
Her mother's on the game
She's just a Kelty Clippie
But I love her just the same.
[Verse 4]
Noo she hasnae got nae culture
And she drives me roon' the bend
She sits every night in an old arm chair
Readin' the "People's Friend"
Her lapels are fu' o' badges
Frae Butlins doon at Ayr
And she goes tae the Bingo every night
Wi' the curlers still in her hair
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a Kelty Clippie
She'll no' tak' nae advice
It's "Ach drap deid, awa' bile yer heid
Or Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waister
Her mother's on the game
She's just a Kelty Clippie
But I love her just the same.
[Verse 5]
But things is a wee bit better noo
Ah've gone and bought the ring
I won it frae Jim at the Pitch and Toss
Last night at the Lindsay Bing
Wi' her wee black hat and her ticket machine
She did ma heart ensnare
She's the Lily o' Lumphinnans
She's ma bonnie Maggie Blair.
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a Kelty Clippie
She'll no' tak' nae advice
It's "Ach drap deid, awa' bile yer heid
Or Ah'll punch yer ticket twice."
Her faither's just a waister
Her mother's on the game
She's just a Kelty Clippie
But I love her just the same.
