Play the riff 3 times and then

Nine years down the road and I remember it still,
G Em
Standing on the corner back in Govanhill -
Em C
Nine days out from home, feeling no pain,
G Em
The northern city sun breaking through the rain
Em C G
That warmthless sun barely shinin' on
Me and yooooouuuu and a bottle of Buckie
Em C
Nine years come and gone since I left you at home
G Em
And this restless soul of mine has me startin' to roam,
Em C
But the first time I stood by the banks of the Clyde,
G Em
I was so glad to have you standing back by my side.
Em C G
So proud of what we were doing, oh
Me and yooooouuuu and a bottle of Buckie
C G
Well I knew by the dew in your starry eyes,
Em C
It was the day we both had studied for for all of our lives,
C G
Whether bold missionaries, or a Children's Crusade,
Em C
No fear, pioneers, we were on our way,
C G
And there never were nothin' that could get in our way (oh!)
Tin whistle solo at 1:32

G Em
They said, "How'd you Jersey boys ever make it this far?"
Em C
But you jumped in between and said, "Listen, my son:"
G
Said, "You don't know nothin' about-a where we're from,
Em G
You don't know nothin' about-a why it's now
A
Three times I've been back in my wandering ways.
Last time it was July, during Marching Days,
