The Yellow’s on the Broom

1. I ken ye dinna like it lass, the winter here in toon
   For the scaldies a misca us, and they try tae bring us doon
   And it's hard tae raise three bairns, in a single flae box room
   But I'll tak ye on the road again, when the yella's on the broom.
   
   When the yella' s on the broom, when the yella' s on the broom
   I'll tak ye on the road again, when the yella's on the broom
2. The scaldies ca us tinker dirt, and they spurn oor bairn's in school
   But fa cares fit the scaldies think, for the scaldies but a fool
   They never hear the yarlin's song, nor see the flaxen bloom
   For they're cooped up in hooses when the yella's on the bloom
   Chorus
3. Nae sale for pegs or baskets noo, that used to bide our lives
   But I seem to work at scaldies jobs, from nie o' clock till five
   But we ca' nae man oor maister, when we own the warld roon
   And I'll bid fareweel tae Breechin, when the yella's on the broom
   Chorus
4. I'm weary for the springtime, when we tak the road aince mair
   T ae the plantin and the fermin, and the berry fields O Blair
   When we meet up wae oor kin-folk, frae a the country roon
   And we yarn aboot wha'll tak the road when the yella's on the broom
   Chorus
