Now you've heard the songs that I love to sing, the tunes I like to play

And the stories in your newspapers, some (fair) and some are lies

Now, of friends in far off places and times that I've enjoyed

For tonight you'll find me working, tomorrow unemployed

Now I'm not sentimental, nostalgia I disdain

As I go rolling down the Ryburn in the morning

Keep us rolling down the Ryburn in the morning
