AT IT AGAIN
Though Geordie�s a man I hav�ny seen lately
I met with his brother in Tain
Says I, "Do you think that he�s still off the drink?"
"Oh no, he�s at it again!"
Chorus:
Aye we telt him and aye we warned him
And aye he promised but then
At the turn o yer back he�d be right off the track
And noo he�s at it again!
I asked him, "Is Geordie still makin� good whiskey?"
He�s prone to distill now and then
"He�d been testin� a sup and near blew he�s sel� up
But noo he�s at it again!"
Geordie�s the man for courtin� the ladies
He�s tall and handsome but vain
He wed five or six but they tired of his tricks
And noo he�s at it again!
I remember when Geordie discovered the horses
Then swore no to back them again
All his horses got bate, he had a devil of hate
But noo he�s at it again!
The baliff caught Geordie doon poachin� the salmon
And off to the court he was taen
But the truth for to tell, he�d a rest in his cell
And noo he�s at it again!
