"Tail Todle" lyrics - THE CHAD MITCHELL TRIO

[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]
