[1st verse:]
Last week when Alexander McIntosh
Returned from a trip to Yankee Land
He got a half a dozen pipers with their bag-pipes
And organized a band
He brought back with him a Yankee tune
That was written all about a coon
Now he`s playing it
Crowds hurraying it
Because he plays it grand
You understand
You understand
That`s it a bag-pipe rag-pipe band
[chorus:]
Come on and hear the bag-pipes raggin` up a tune
In Alexander`s bag-pipe band
Come on and see McPherson acting like a coon
In Alexander`s bag-pipe band
Sandy McGregor is a ragtime Scot
Come see him do the Hieland Turkey Trot
The only ragtime Scotchman in the land
Come on and see the lassies kicking up their kilties
When they do a ragtime fling
Come on and hear the pipers play a Scottish rag
And hear the crowds begin to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot on the Swanee River
Come on along and take your lassie by the hand
To Alexander`s bag-pipe band
[2nd verse:]
Ragtime was never meant for Scotchmen
Just the same, Mister Alexander knows
Just how to play it till you feel as if a highball
Was going to your toes
Come and hear the lassies all declare
Hoot man, Sandy, it`s a Hielan` Bear
On the heather
They dance together
With a Yankee Ragtime air
Come on along
Come on along
You`ll see the Scotch Bonbuddy`s there Send " Alexander S Bagpipe Band 10 Feb 1912" Ringtone to your Cell
