Overtoun Bridge

(album: Beer And Loathing - 2020)

My best friend
Was at his wits end
His outlook was rather grey
So I took him for a walk
And a little pep talk
Down over Dumbarton Way

Over, Over
Overtoun Bridge
Rover, went over
Over the Overtoun Bridge

Well there's mice and there's minx
And the place always stinks
Because they don't haul the bodies away
From under the Overtoun Bridge

His dog Spot
Was drinking quite a lot
His outlook was rather blue
So we went for a turn
Down the Overtoun burn
And took along a dram or two

Over, Over
Overtoun Bridge
Rover, went over
Over the Overtoun Bridge

Well there's mice and there's minx
And the place always stinks
Because they don't haul the bodies away
From under the Overtoun Bridge

During clear weather on the Overtoun Bridge
Light as a feather the dogs do wish
To fly like a demon, like a bat out of hell
During clear weather they never cross well

My best friend
Was at his wits end
His outlook was rather grey
So I took him for a walk
And a little pep talk
Down over Dumbarton Way

Over, Over
Overtoun Bridge
Rover, went over
Over the Overtoun Bridge

Over, Over
Overtoun Bridge
Rover, went over
Over the Overtoun Bridge

Well there's mice and there's minx
And the place always stinks
Because they don't haul the bodies away
From under the Overtoun Bridge
