Dunvegan's Drums - The Stanfields
This one is fairly straight forward, let me know of any mistakes in the comments.
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
When EmDunvegan's Drums Gbeat in the air
At the Cfirst of the Inverness Emfair
The Amliquor starts flowing
And the Emboys start going to Gtown
With Dblood in their Chair
The Emtownie boys eye up the Gboys from the glen
They Cneither got money to Emspend
They Amtake all the girlies
EmDancing and twirlin'
And Gscrap around Dback in the Cend
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Me Emmother, she told me when GI left the island,
"Keep your Cnose and your fingernails Emclean
Don't Amever be shy,
Always Emlook in their eye,
And Galways Dsay what you Cmean."
Well I Emmeant what I said when I Gcalled him a coward
CRiddled with filth and diEmsease
The Amsilence was golden
As EmI was left holding my Gguts
In a Dpile at my Cknees

And scrap around back in the end

In a pile at my knees
