1
Nine years down the road and I remember it still
2
Standing on the corner back in Govanhill
3
Nine days out from home, feeling no pain
4
That northern city sun breaking through the rain
5
That warmthless sun barely shining on
6
Me and you and a bottle of Buckie
7
Nine years come and gone since I left you at home
8
And this restless soul of mine had me starting to roam
9
But the first time I stood by the banks of the Clyde
10
I was so glad to have you standing back by my side
11
I was so proud of what we were doing
12
Me and you and a bottle of Buckie
13
Well, I knew by the dew in your starry eyes
14
It was the day we both had studied for for all of our lives
15
Whether bold missionaries, or a Children's Crusade
16
No fear, pioneers, we were on our way
17
And there never were nothin' that could get in our way
18
Then the Neds, with their knuckles and their Burberry scarves
19
They said, "How'd ye Jersey boys ever make it this far?"
20
But you jumped in between and said, "Listen, my son"”"
21
You said, "You don't know nothin' 'bout where we're from,
22
And you don't know nothin' 'bout why it's now
23
Me and you and a bottle of Buckie"
24
Three times I've been back in my wandering ways
25
Last time it was July during Marching Days
26
When someone said to run from that bitter parade
27
But I knew what you would do and I decided to stay
28
And I knew no one ever got the better of me and you
