Lyrics:

I’m a fair weather beggar fae Edinburgh toon
I’ll sing ye a sang and I’ll play ye a tune
In summer ye’ll find me alang the Royal Mile
The locals a’ gie me a wink and a smile
But when the rain fa’s an the cauld wind blaws free
Ye might find me nursing a whisky or three


I’ve been doon in the Borders and up north in Tain
But ye cannae escape fae that cauld Scottish rain
I’ll regale ye wae stories o’ things that I’ve seen
The folk that I’ve met and the places I’ve been
But one thing I’ve learned fae my days in this trade
The finer the weather the better I’m paid

So come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell
Come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell


I’m a fair weather beggar I dae it in style
That 9 to 5 workin’s just no’ worth my while
I’ll pairt wi’ my wages in days cauld and dark
But the money I spend isnae lang comin back
For when the spring comes wi’ the flooers a’ in bloom
I’ll reline my pockets wi’ sangs and wi’ tunes


So come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell
Come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell


Falada-n-dee, falada-n-dido, falada-n-dido di da
Falada-n-dee, falada-n-dido, falada-n-dido


I’m a fair weather beggar fae Edinburgh toon
I’ll sing ye a sang and I’ll play ye a tune
In summer ye’ll find me alang the Royal Mile
But soon I’ll away with a wink and a smile


So come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell
Come gather round I’ve got stories to tell
But when the wind changes I’ll bid ye farewell


Falada-n-dee, falada-n-dido, falada-n-dido di da…
