THE CARLES OF DYSART.

TUNE—'HEY, CA' THRO'.'

Up wi' the carles o' Dysart,And the lads o' Buckhaven,And the kimmers o' Largo,And the lassies o' Leven.Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',For we hae mickle ado;Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',For we hae mickle ado.

We hae tales to tell,And we hae sangs to sing;We hae pennies to spend,And we hae pints to bring.

We'll live a' our days,And them that come behin',Let them do the like,And spend the gear they win.

Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',For we hae mickle ado;Hey, ca' thro', ca' thro',For we hae mickle ado.
