Margaret (Live) Lyrics

--- "Margaret (Live)" Track 9 from _B'sides Themselves_ ---

O' you go the high road an' I'll take the low road,
an' I'll be in Scotland before ye
for me and my true love we'll never walk again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

You'll take the acid an' I'll take the dope
an' I'll be stoned before ye
for me an' my true love, the drink waters' well
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

  Step we gaily on we go
  Heel for heel and toe for toe
  Arm in arm [an' row an' row
  All for Mhairi's wedding]

I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take the low road

  On the lead guitar, from Yorkshire,
  Mr. Stephen Rothery!

I said you, you, you, you take the high road
I said I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take the low road

  On the bass guitar, the backing vocal, from Aylesbury,
  Mr. Peter Trewavas!

I said you, you, you, you'll take the high road
I said I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take the low road

  On the keyboads, from Dublin,
  Mr. Mark Kelly!

I said you, you--, you'll take the high road
I said I'll, I'll--, I'll take the low road

  On drums, percussion,
  Mr. Michael - E.T. - Pointer

And a very big round of applause for yourself,
our audience tonight. It takes two!

  On vocals, and percussion,
  Fish!

A dream fulfilled!

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret (4x)

I said you take the high road
[an' I'll take the low road,
an' I'll be in Scotland afore you
for me and my true love we'll never meet again
on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond]

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret (4x)

  The balcony!
  Sweet Ma- Ma-

  Say yer Scottish

I said you'll take the high...

Banks of Loch Lomond!
Banks of Loch Lomond!

Sweet Margaret
Sweet Margaret

Sweet Ma- Ma- Ma- Ma- Margaret!

  Thank you Edinburgh, goodnight,
  we shall definately return!
