Manura Manyah Pete Seeger

[Intro]
There was one country we visited that had a language almost like English
So I learnt a song all the way through
This is Scotland
And, uh, uh
If there's any Scots people here, I hope you pardon me
I know I don't pronounce the language right
I even tried to translate it into English but it, I lost all the poetry
The song was made up in the city of Glasgow by a young songwriter named Matt McGinn
He says, "This is a song about the transport revolution
That has changed Glasgow into a one-horse town"
"One-horse town" he means
They don't say "town" or "down" or "around"
They say "town, down, around"

[Verse 1]
I've heard men complain of the jobs that they're doing (They're doing)
While hawking the coal, or digging the drain
But whoever they are, there is none that compare
With a man that sits shovelling manyura manyah

[Chorus]
With manyura manyah, with manyura manyah
With manyura, manyura, manyura manyah
Now, that's a sweet chorus, y'all can sing it with me
With manyura manyah, with manyura manyah
With manyura, manyura, manyura manyah
