I Belong to Glasgow

written by Will Fyfe

I've been wi' a couple o' cronies, 

One or two pals o' my ain; 

We went intae a hotel, and we did very well, 

And then we came out once again; 

Then we went into anither, 

And that is the reason I'm fu'; 

We had six deoch-an-doruses, then sang a chorus, 

Just listen, I'll sing it to you:

I belong to Glasgow, 

Dear old Glasgow toon; 

But what's the matter wi' Glasgow, 

For it's goin' roon' and roon'! 

I'm only a common old working chap, 

As anyone here can see, 

But when I get a couple o' drinks on a Seturday, 

Glasgow belongs to me!

There's nothing in keeping your money,

And saving a shilling or two; 

If you've nothing to spend, then you've nothing to lend, 

Why that's all the better for you! 

There nae harm in taking a drappie, 

It ends all your trouble and strife; 

It gives ye the feeling that when you get home, 

You don't give a hang for the wife!

I belong to Glasgow, 

Dear old Glasgow toon; 

But what's the matter wi' Glasgow, 

For it's goin' roon' and roon'! 

I'm only a common old working chap, 

As anyone here can see, 

But when I get a couple o' drinks on a Seturday, 

Glasgow belongs to me!
