D
Well the hills are pretty and rollin'
C
But the thorn is sharp and swollen
D
And the man plays a beautiful whistle
C
But he wears a prickly thistle
D
Singing Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
C
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
D
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
C
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
D
The silver birches pierce through an icy fog
C
Which covers the ground most daily
D
And the angels which carry St. Andrew high
C
Are singing a tune most gaily
D
One sound can hold back a thousand hands
C
When the pipe plays a tune forlorn
D
And the thistle is a prickly flower
C
Aye, But how it is sweetly worn
D
Singing Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
C
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
D
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
C
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
