I remember the change in the accents on the westside

Makin money till there's no time left to spend

G                                                           C
A know a guy who's a lightweight, one or two jars and he's buckelt,

Em                            C                         G
Some happy, some sad, bring a smile tae ma face when am doon

in the Priory or in Sinbad's in Dunoon
