Lyrics:

(Chorus:)

For we're no' awa' tae bide awa',
For we're no' awa tae le'e ye,
For we're no' awa' tae bide awa',
We'll aye come back an' see ye.
As I was walking down the street,
I met with Johnny Stobie,
I said to him will you take a dram,
He said 'Why, Man, thats my hobby',

(Repeat Chorus)

As I was gaun doon the Overgate
I met wee Johnny Stobie
Says he tae me 'Are ye fur a hauf'
Says I ' Man, that's ma hoaby' (Hobby)

(Repeat Chorus)
