Women of Dundee

 

Women of Dundee

(Sheena Wellington)

 

Now the men they werena lazy, but the work was hard tae find

The Parish and the Means Test they'd to face,

But a lassie"s hands are nimble, and a lassie's wage is sma

So the women o Dundee worked in their place.

 

Cho: And the wailin o the bummer and the clackin o the laims

     Brought the women o Dundee oot o their bed

     And they walked tae mills and factories

     And they rocht frae seevin tae fehv

     And the women kept the bairns o Dundee fed

 

Now my mither an my granny an my aunties ain and a'

Went tae the laims the day they left the skail

They didna work for freedom, independence or the rest

They jist worked tae get some kitchen tae their kail.

 

Now the rhythm o their livin was the clackin o the laims

Their youth an health an strength was lost tae jait

But the weavers and the spinners and the winders o Dundee

Had a spirit that the hard times never bait.

 

Now you may boast a noble lineage and sing of your Highland clan

And hail some gallant chief who shares your name

But my line's as good as any and I'm very proud tae say

It was fae a Dundee weaver that I came.

 

Glossary; Werena - were not.

Parish, Means Test - much hated forms of poor 'relief'.

sma - small.

Bummer - the mill horn which sounded at morning, midday & 5.30

laims - looms. Brocht- bought. rocht - worked.

fae seevin tae fehv - from seven till five,

a ten hour day. bairns - children. mither - mother.

ain and a - one and all.

skail - school. didna - didn't. jist - just.

kitchen tae their kail - bread with broth, i.e. a bare living

jait - jute. bait- beat.

[Roland]

BECAUSE ALL THE CHEATING SCUMBAGS DIVING AND TIME WASTING  ;D

[pearse1888]

So why havent teams clocked onto this crap theory?  ;D want a bet they wont win anything?

Yeah I think that's a tenner bet there. Chelsea will win the title, Man U aren't - IMO good enough this season for Europe.

Always of course in with a shout for the F.A. Cup, and the Carlin Cup ... Knock out the Carlin Cup and I'd put a tenner up with confidence.

But will give it a show. £10 if you want then with the Carlin Cup also in. Liverpool have to win something, as Aston Villa and Spurs etc. Everton of course so one of them will halt them.

Mind it is nigh  impossible to imagin Man U winning nowt!  :-/

Definitely the Refs have something against us especially Fergie  

 

We will 1 or at least 2 trophies this season  ;D Chelsea are the only team better than us though at the moment we are lacking a bit of extra quality and depth to the squad. Hopefully Fergie will splash the cash over Christmas  ;D

[pigeonpete]

huh, that is not my quote above, Only roland can write like that :-)

[Guest joshdonlan]

seems like theyre at it again?   Pathetic this time giving them out willy nilly we give man u 1 so have 2 give pompey 1 for nothing ;D
