On the night that Maxton died I fell over The clyde was full of old tyres The wind nearly pulled my Breeches off And ann kelly She kissed my mouth
Fellow hoodlums and Engineers The union`s south And we`re all here I`m going up buchanan street With a box of fireworks And two bottles of Tizer
On the last train from st. enochs I saw the graveyard It looked like our old street People were cheering All the way from hampden With macaroons and And scarves and rattles
Chorus
Billy`s a butcher now Always has been And he picks his teeth With old rusty meat hooks And he sends his beef with the bike boys Monday to saturday Partick to cowcaddens
