lyrics

The lassies love my dudelsack,
I play for them all day.
The laddies love my dudelsack,
But that don’t make them gay.

The children love my dudelsack,
and that is nothing wrong,
for when I squeeze my dudelsack,
It plays their favorite song.

The angels love my dudelsack,
They can hear it up on high.
The demons love my dudelsack,
In hell I’ll play when I die.

Fingering my chanter,
And blowing in my stick,
to make this kind of music,
Is quite a clever trick.

Jigs and reels and marches,
Played up at eleven,
When they need their ears to bleed,
In both hell and heaven.
