Glaisca Whisky

Come all ye folks who weary are
O' life, its cares and trouble,
Who anything will do and dare
So you may burst the bubble;
I have a plan within my head
That's new and nothing risky,
Whene'er you want to nick the thread,
Just try oor Glaisca whisky.

Chorus

Try oor Glaisca whisky;
Try oor Glaisca whisky;
It gies us pleasure wi' our death,
So hey for Glaisca whisky!

A plunge in Clyde's no just the thing;
But people who are dreary
May into it themselves gae fling,
But I'm for something cheery.
The knife - the name o't gars me grue,
An' mak's my face look dusky;
But I prefer the barley broo,
An' stick to Glaisca whisky.

Chorus

Death by the rape - weel, I'm no sure
But I'd prefer't to mony;
But then, my frien's, a dance in air
Is onything but bonny;
So they may hang themselves wha will,
But I'm for something frisky
Hey, landlord, fetch anither gill
O' hame-made Glaisca whisky.

Chorus

The pooshin stuffs the doctors sell
You scarcely can get ony,
But Glaisca whisky bears the bell,
It's flavoured wi' sae mony;
An' pooshin sellin's sae fenced roun',
To buy it is but risky;
But ye may cut throats, hang, or droon,
When primed wi' Glaisca whisky!

Chorus
