Tail Toddle
Chad Mitchell Trio
Spoken:
Speaking of dirty Scotch songs..
Here's one called "Tail Toddle" and
involves a wee lass named Tammie
Chorus:
Tail todle, tail todle
Tammie gars my tail todle
But an' ben we diddle-doddle
Tammie gars my tail todle
Tail todle, tail todle
Tammie gars my tail todle
But an' ben we diddle-doddle
Tammie gars my tail todle
----
When I'm deid and oot o' date
When I'm seik and full o' trouble
When I'm weel I stap aboot
An' Tammie gars my tail todle
[Chorus]
Jessie Mack she gae'd a plack
Helen Wallace gae'd a boddle
Quo' the bride, "Its over little
For tae mend a broken doddle."
[Chorus]
Our gudewife held o'er to Fife
For tae buy a coal-riddle
Lang 'for she came back again
Tammie gar't my tail todle
[Chorus]
