`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!
