Bat' an tàilleir

Tha bat' an tàilleir 's cromag air The tailor's stick has a crook
Bat' an tàilleir rinn e fhàgail The tailor's stick that he left
Aig a mhàthar 's cromag air With his with mother with a crook on it
'S e fhèin gun chothrom gluasad And himself unable to move
Tha bat' an tàilleir 's cromag air The tailor's stick has a crook
Bat' an tàilleir rinn e fhàgail The tailor's stick that he left
Aig a mhàthar 's cromag air With his with mother with a crook on it
'S e fhèin gun chothrom gluasad And himself unable to move
   
Chan eil cù no cat agam I have neither dog nor cat
Chan eil cù nach téid an cùil There isn't a dog that won't go into a corner
Nuair gheibh e smùid dhen bhata seo When he gets a swipe of this stick
'S cha charaich e 's cha gluais e And he will not shift or move
Chan eil cù no cat agam I have neither dog nor cat
Chan eil cù nach téid an cùil There isn't a dog that won't go into a corner
Nuair gheibh e smùid dhen bhata seo When he gets a swipe of this stick
'S cha charaich e 's cha gluais e And he will not shift or move
