Forfar Sodger Old Blind Dogs

[Verse 1]
In Forfar country I was born
But faith I div think shame, sir
Tae tell o the weary life I led
Afore I left my hame, sir
Hurra, hurra, wi my tilt a fal air al aye doh

[Verse 2]
My faither was a weaver poor
As iver reeled a spool, sir
And niver was meat came tae wir door
But juist a pun at Yule, sir
Hurra, hurra, wi my tilt a fal air al aye doh

[Verse 3]
When I was six, I gaed tae school
Because it was the fashion
And ivery Sunday tae the kirk
Tae save me o a thrashin
Hurra, hurra, wi my tilt a fal air al aye doh

[Verse 4]
Thay learnt me thare tae read and write
And learnt the rule o three, sir
But a nobler thought came tae my mind
A sodger I would be, sir
Hurra, hurra, wi my tilt a fal air al aye doh
