Aye I ken Fine Fa Ye Mean

Cruickshank, Albert

We've aa workit wi somebody like him,
Aye, him at's aye heard tae bleat.
"Tho am nae tellin ye yer job,
At's nae the wye at I wad daet".

He watches aabody roon and roon,
Syne near shoves ye aff yer feet.
As he comes borin' in aboot wi,
"At's nae the wye at I wad daet".

He tries maist aabody's patience,
In fact near maks ye greet.
For aa ye hear fae morn tae nicht,
Is " At's nae the wye at 1 wad daet".

I'll sweir fan he's deid and doon below,
Mangst aa the reek an heat,
An meets auld Satan shovellin coal,
He'll say, "At's nae the wye at I wad daet".
