The Banks O’Sicily

James Robertson, Hamish Henderson

The pipie is dozy, the pipie is fey
He wullnae come roon for his vino the day
And the sky o'er Messina is unco and grey
And a’ the bricht chaulmers are eerie

Fare ye weel ye banks o' Sicily
Fare ye weel ye valley and shaw
There's nae Jock will mourn the kyles o’ ye

The drummie is polisht, the drummie is braw
He cannae be seen for his webbin awa
He's beezed himsel' up for a photy and a'
Tae leave wi' his Lola his dearie

Fare ye weel ye banks o' Sicily
Fare ye weel ye valley and shaw
There's nae Jock will mourn the kyles o' ye

Then tune the pipes and drub the tenor drum
Leave your kit this side o’ the wa’
Then tune the pipes and drub the tenor drum
A' the bricht chaulmers are eerie

Then doon the stair and line the waterside
Wait your turn the ferry’s awa
Then doon the stair and line the waterside
A' the bricht chaulmers are eerie

Fare ye weel ye banks o' Sicily
Fare ye weel ye shieling and ha'
We’ll a' mind shebeens and bothies
Whaur Jock made a date wi' his dearie
