歌詞

There was a sailor brisk and neat A bonnie lassie he did entreat A bonnie lassie he did entreat For to wed wi' him, a sailor "Oh", says the bonnie lassie,"but that won't do For my mother she'd be in an awful stew My mother she'd be in an awful stew If I went and married a sailor" "Then what contrivance can we make Or what contrivance can we take? What contrivance can we make? For to beguile your mammy?" "Oh you'll cast off your trousers blue And you'll on wi' the garb o' the gauger true You'll on wi' the garb o' the gauger true And you'll come tae oor town a gauger" And when you come into our town Blythe and merry come you in Saying "Have you any malt or gin? For here am I, the gauger" He's cast off his claes of blue And he's on wi' the garb o' the gauger true He's on wi' the garb o' the gauger true And he's come to the town as a gauger And when he came into their town Blythe and merry went he in Saying "Have you any malt or gin? For here am I, the gauger" "Oh", says the lassie, "come awa' Maybe we have a cask or twa Maybe we have a cask or twa Gin ye be the new-come gauger" Yes he's searched but and he's searched ben He's searched out and he's searched in But ne'er a drop o' the gin could he find For he hadnae the wiles of a gauger "Come awa', lassie, and let me see Where that cask o' gin may be If I don't get the gin, lassie, I'll get thee For the guiling o' the gauger" "Oh", says the old wife, "and that's well done For she's always ready with anyone She's always ready with anyone And most with the new-come gauger" But long ere before a month was done The gauger and the lass were one He's married her and off she's gone She's away wi' the roving sailor!
