Fie on Goodness |
Fie on goodness, fie |
Fie on goodness, fie |
Eight years of kindness to your neighbor |
Making sure that the meek are treated well |
Eight years of philanthropic labor |
Derry down dell |
Damn, but it’s hell |
Oh, fie on goodness, fie |
Fie, fie, fie |
It’s been depressing all the way (derry down, derry down) |
And getting glummer every day (derry down, derry down) |
Ah, but to burn a little town or slay a dozen men |
Anything to laugh again |
Oh, fie on goodness, fie |
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie |
When I think of the rollicking pleasures that earlier filled my life |
Lolly lo, lolly lo |
Like the time I beheaded a man who was beating his naked wife |
Lolly lo, lolly lo |
I can still hear his widow say |
Never moving from where she lay |
«Tell me what can I do, I beg, sir, of you |
Your kindness to repay» |
Fie on goodness, fie |
Fie on goodness, fie |
Lechery and vice have been arrested |
Arrested! |
Not a maiden is evermore in threat |
Virgins may wander unmolested |
Unmolested! |
Lolly lo let |
Gad, it’s a sweat |
Oh, fie on goodness, fie |
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie |
How we roared and brawled in Scotland |
Not a law was e’er obeyed |
And when wooing called in Scotland |
We’d grab any pasing maid |
Ah, my heart is still in Scotland |
Where the lasses woo the best |
On some bonny hill in Scotland |
Stroking someone’s bonny… |
Fie on Scotland, fie |
Fie on Scotland, fie |
No one repents for any sin now |
Every soul is immaculate and trim |
Immaculate! |
No one is covered with chagrin now |
Lolly lo lim |
Gad, but it’s grim |
Oh, fie on goodness, fie |
Fie, fie, fie |
There’s not a folly to deplore |
Derry down, derry down |
Confession Sunday is a bore |
Derry down, derry down |
Ah, but to spend a tortured evening staring at the floor |
Guilty and alive once more |
Oh, fie on virtue, fie |
Fie on mercy, fie |
Fie on justice |
Fie on goodness |
Fie, fie, fie, fie |
