Margaret Live lyrics

`Margaret (Live)` Track 9 from _B`sides Themselves_ ---

O` you go the high road an` I`ll take the low road,
an` I`ll be in Scotland before ye
for me and my true love we`ll never walk again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

You`ll take the acid an` I`ll take the dope
an` I`ll be stoned before ye
for me an` my true love, the drink waters` well
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm [an` row an` row
All for Mhairi`s wedding]

I`ll, I`ll, I`ll, I`ll take the low road

On the lead guitar, from Yorkshire,
Mr. Stephen Rothery!

I said you, you, you, you take the high road
I said I`ll, I`ll, I`ll, I`ll take the low road

On the bass guitar, the backing vocal, from Aylesbury,
Mr. Peter Trewavas!

I said you, you, you, you`ll take the high road
I said I`ll, I`ll, I`ll, I`ll take the low road

On the keyboads, from Dublin,
Mr. Mark Kelly!

I said you, you--, you`ll take the high road
I said I`ll, I`ll--, I`ll take the low road

On drums, percussion,
Mr. Michael - E.T. - Pointer

And a very big round of applause for yourself,
our audience tonight. It takes two!

On vocals, and percussion,
Fish!

A dream fulfilled!

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret (4x)

I said you take the high road
[an` I`ll take the low road,
an` I`ll be in Scotland afore you
for me and my true love we`ll never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond]

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret (4x)

The balcony!
Sweet Ma- Ma-

Say yer Scottish

I said you`ll take the high...

Banks of Loch Lomond!
Banks of Loch Lomond!

Sweet Margaret
Sweet Margaret

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret!

Thank you Edinburgh, goodnight,
we shall definately return!
