    Default "a clydeside lad"

    Her mooth wis fuul o chukie stains,
    "God bless this ship and all who sail......"
    and we wir laughin wild is wins
    it muck on oor yerd-owner's tail
    fae where he'd slipt on ile an fell.
    the day we launched the San Miguel.

    The botil smashed. Ther came a hush
    sae lang an wide it felt like noise,
    tae wee Joe yelt. "It waants a puush!"
    then, like it waited fur his voice,
    the Giant edged oot fur the swell,
    the day we launched the San Miguel.

    A roar rose up sae strang an fierce,
    loud fit tae crack the cranes above,
    an many throats choked many tears,
    bit nane cid hide the powerfa love
    thit burnt in aw, is in masel,
    the day we launched the San Miguel.

    Pride ran sae deep it near wis pain
    an me, ma fethir hae ma side,
    watched whit oor hauns hid built, oor ain,
    the ocean noo take fur its bride,
    an take fae us pert o oorsel,
    the day we launched the San Miguel.

    Ther's men drag coal up oot the mine,
    ther's men drag rhymes up oot thir soul,
    ther's men build buildins, taw an fine,
    bit in this big, crule, sweaty hole
    we built a beauty oot a Hell,
    the day we launched the San Miguel.
