Out of the Faifley

from WHEESHT by BAAN vs The JHS Pedal Show

/

lyrics

You can take the boy out of the Faifley
You canny take the Faifley out of the boy
You can put the babies intae the prison
That's where they ever will bide

Down in West Street lies the ghost of my daddy
Sent me off to school every morning with the Whites
Ian and Billy catching bad guys for a living
Sleeping through the day, shifting through the night

I was raised on the banks of the Clyde
They told me Jesus was on our side
I was raised where the warships reside
Where the widows and the bairns still cried

John Knox was a man of the faith
Bring the weans in, bring them in close
Get yourself a little dose of his religion
Sing in the choir, like a wee bird

Under the dome they had an x-ray machine
See right through to the bones of the world
If your shoes never fit you good
Must be 'cos you never did the things you should

I was raised on the banks of the Clyde
Making warships for Britannia
In the days when she still ruled the waves
Acquainting infidels with their graves
