[Refrain]
Oh, Jimmy go down to your uncle's, that's a bonnie wee lamb
And take your father's trousers and get as much as you can
And mind you hide the patches and keep them out of sight
And tell them your father's working now and he'll lift them Satuday night

[Verse]
And Jimmy, when you're coming home, and mind you cannae stay
Ye ken the grocer Geordie Black, of course he’s on your way
Will you pick up a loaf of bread, some tea, some sugar and jam
And a packet of peas, a quarter of cheese and a pound of his four-penny ham

[Refrain]
So, Jimmy go down to your uncle's, that's a bonnie wee lamb
And take your father's trousers and get as much as you can
And mind you hide the patches and keep them out of sight
And tell them your father's working now and he'll lift them Satuday night
