UISGE B'EATHA (Water of life) (Paterson/Alexander)

CHORUS
Usige-b'eatha the water of life
Is running through my veins

I went to see big Ann
She took me for a dram
She pulled me up a close
And shouted “show me you’re a man”
Well I’ll do it if I can
But I need a helping hand
The whiskey’s got a hold of me
And I can hardly stand

CHORUS

I don’t like my brandy
It don’t make me randy
I like my whiskey it keeps me frisky

CHORUS

So many drams we’ve shared in our time
So many auld lang synes
So won’t you join me in a drink of UISGE-B'EATHA
