1
The drinking dens are spilling out
2
There's staggering in the square
3
There's lads and lasses falling about
4
And a crackling in the air
5
Down around the dungeon doors
6
The shelters and the queues
7
Everybody's looking for
8
Somebody's arms to fall into
9
That's what it is
10
It's what it is now
11
There's frost on the graves and the monuments
12
But the taverns are warm in town
13
People curse the government
14
And shovel hot food down
15
Lights are out in the city hall
16
The castle and the keep
17
The moon shines down upon it all
18
The legless and asleep
19
And it's cold on the tollgate
20
With the wagons creeping through
21
Cold on the tollgate
22
God knows what I could do with you
23
That's what it is
24
It's what it is now
25
The garrison sleeps in the citadel
26
With the ghosts and the ancient stones
27
High up on the parapet
28
A Scottish piper stands alone
29
And high on the wind
30
The highland drums begin to roll
31
And something from the past just comes
32
And stares into my soul
33
And it's cold on the tollgate
34
Let the drums beat the tatoo
35
Cold on the tollgate
36
God knows what I could do with you
37
That's what it is
38
It's what it is now
39
What it is
40
It's what it is now
41
There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
42
There's a lantern in the tower
43
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
44
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
45
On Charlotte Street I take
46
A walking stick from my hotel
47
The ghost of Dirty dick
48
Is still in search of Little Nell
49
That's what it is
50
It's what it is now
51
It's what it is
52
What it is now
