Rothsea-O Cifras

[Verse 1]
D
One New Year’s eve in Glasgow town
                    C
When all we had was half a crown
  D
A bunch of thought we’d prowl around
                     A7      D
And find some fun in Rothsea-o.
D           C   G        D
We wandered out Victoria street.
   C                            D
We didn’t care much for snow or sleet.
                 C        G
And at half past two with aching feet
    A7                D
We found ourselves in Rothsea-o.\
 
[Chorus]
D                G     D                     C
A-diddum a doo a dum a day, a-diddum a doo a daad enow
D              G     D                         A7      D
Diddum a doo a dum a day, the night we went to Rothsea-o.
 
[Verse 2]
D
Tom Clancy here was a bit of a lout
                           C
Said he’d treat us all to a pint of stout
      D
So as quick as we could we all set out
                      A7      D
For a public house in Rothsea-o.
              C         G       D
Said, “Aye me lads, I’d like to sing.”
N.C.
Says I, “You’ll no do such a thing.”
         D         C              G      D
I said, “Clear the room and we’ll make a ring
         C        A7     D
And I’ll fight ye all in Rothsea-o.
 
[Chorus]
D                G     D                     C
A-diddum a doo a dum a day, a-diddum a doo a daad enow
D              G     D                         A7      D
Diddum a doo a dum a day, the night we went to Rothsea-o.
 
[Verse 3]
D
We had to find a place to sleep.
                         C
We were all too drunk to even creep.
   D
We found a place that was really cheap.
                       A7      D
In a boarding house in Rothsea-o.
   D       C       G        D
We all lay down to take our ease
     C                        D
When somebody happened for to sneeze
       D       C      G       D
And he wakened half a million fleas
     A7             D
In a single room in Rothsea-o.
 
[Chorus]
D                G     D                     C
A-diddum a doo a dum a day, a-diddum a doo a daad enow
D              G     D                         A7      D
Diddum a doo a dum a day, the night we went to Rothsea-o.
 
[Verse 4]
D
There were several different kinds of pests
                           C
They run and they jumped inside our vests
     D
They got in our hair and they built their nests
 
And they cried’ “Hurrah, for Rothsea-o.”
           C           G        D
Says I, “I think we’ll head for home.”
       C                         D
And we swore we never more would roam
                     C           G         D
And we’re scratching still as we sing this poem
       A7                D
Of the night we spent in Rothsea-o.
 
[Chorus]
D                G     D                     C
A-diddum a doo a dum a day, a-diddum a doo a daad enow
D              G     D                         A7      D
Diddum a doo a dum a day, the night we went to Rothsea-o.
