G Oh, ye Scots working men, ye’ve gone crazy, I fear. C D Each day you will have only beef and your beer. G Little know ye now how, but you’ll soon come to learn C D G that your natural food is the tatties and herrin'. Refrain: G D Tatties and herrin', tatties and herrin'! G C G D G Your natural food is the tatties and herrin'.* V2. With a pound earned each week you should all be content: ten bob to lay by for your clothes and your rent, half a crown to your own if you’ll only be sparin’ leaves seven and sixpence for tatties and herrin'. V3. When the Queen needs some men to go fight with her foes it’s not to the roast-beef devourers she goes. She turns t’ward the North to the brave and the darin' to the lads that were brought up on tatties and herrin'. *Second line follows last line of each verse.
