Gaberlunzie - Yellow On The Broom

      [Verse 1]
G                     
I ken ye dinna like it lass,
      C
Tae winter here in toon.
           G
Fur the scaldies aye miscry us,
          D
And they try tae bring us doon.
          Am                   G
And it's hard to raise three bairns,
        C             G 
In a single flea-box room,
           C             G
But Ah'll tak ye on the road again,
       D              G
When yella's on the broom.

[Chorus]
           D
When the yella's on the broom,
           G
When the yella's on the broom,
     C               G
I'll tak' ye on the road again,
       D              G
When yella's on the broom.

[Verse 2]
G
The scaldies caw us 'tinker dirt',
       C
They sconce our weans in school,
     G
noo who cares what a scaldy thinks,
     D
A scaldy's but a fool,
            Am          G
He's never heard the yorlin's sang,
     C                G
Or seen the flax in bloom,
             C                 G
For they're aye cooped up in hooses,
           D             G
When the yella's on the broom.

[Chorus]
           D
When the yella's on the broom,
           G
When the yella's on the broom,
         C                 G
They're aye cooped up in hooses,
           D              G
When the yella's on the broom.

[Verse 3]
 G
Nae sale for pegs or baskets noo,
 C
Sold tae  stay alive.
       G
We've hud tae work at scaldy jobs,
      D 
Frae nine o'clock tull five.
       Am               G
But we ca nae man oor maister,
        C               G
For we own the world's room,
           C                  G
And We'll bid fareweel tae Brechin,
           D             G
When the yella's on the broom.

[Chorus]
           D
When the yella's on the broom,
           G
When the yella's on the broom,
             C           G
We'll bid fareweel tae Brechin,
           D             G
When the yella's on the broom.

[Verse 4]
 G 
Ah'm longin fur the springtime,
     C
Tae tak' the road yince mair,
           G
Tae the plantin' and the pearlin',
          D
And the berry fields at Blair.
       Am               G
we'll meet up wi' oor kinfolk,
     C               G
Frae a' the country roon',
          C              G
When the gana-boot folk tak' the road,
           D              G
When the yella's on the broom.

[Chorus]
           D
When the yella's on the broom
           G
When the yella's on the broom
          C              G
When the gana-boot folk tak' the road
       D              G
When yella's on the broom

[Chorus]
            D
When the yella's on the broom
           G
When the yella's on the broom
          C              G
When the gana-boot folk tak' the road
       D              G
When yella's on the broom
