THE CHAD MITCHELL TRIO
"Tail Todle"
[Chorus:]
Tail todle, tail todle;
Tammie gart my tail todle;
At my ae wi' diddle doddle,
Tammie gart my tail todle.
Tail todle, tail todle;
Tammie gart my tail todle;
At my ae wi' diddle doddle,
Tammie gart my tail todle.
Our gudewife held o'er to Fife,
For tae buy a coal-riddle;
Lang or she cam back again,
Tammie gart my tail todle.
Chorus.
When I'm deid I'm out o' date;
When I'm seik I'm fu' o' trouble;
When I'm weel I stap about,
An' Tammie gars my tail todle.
[Chorus]
Jenny Jack she gae a plack,
Helen Wallace gae a boddle;
Quo' the bride, "Its o'er little
For tae mend a broken doddle."
[Chorus]
