Auntie Bella

C F C Ever since the day ma dug ate Auntie Bella, C G I've been wondering just what kind of dug I've got, C F C For it grew up awfy big and tawny yella, C G C Wi a great big hairy collar round its throat. F C C It was just a little pup the night I picked it up, D G G It was wandering in the dark, near a place called Calder Park, C F C And when people see me coming they shout "Lion" C G C But I've never told a lie in all ma life. C F C Ever since the day ma dug ate Auntie Bella, C G Things have happened in a way you won't believe. C F C Can A clap your dug said one wee friendly fellow, C G C Noo he runs aboot wi nuthin' up his sleeve. F C C And when I'm signin' on the Broo, there's niver any queue, D G G The man says don't come doon, we'll send yer money roon, C F C And when people see me coming they shout "Lion" C G C But I've never told a lie in all ma life. C F C Ever since ma dug had Auntie for its dinner, C G I've been taking money aff these racing mugs, C F C Doon at Shawfield track my Fido's aye the winner, C G C The trouble is, they're running short o' dugs. F C C And when the butcher for a bet, gave a sheep's heid tae ma pet, D G G He gave a strangled yell, when it chewed his heid as well C F C And when people see me coming they shout "Lion" C G C But I've never told a lie in all ma life. C F C Now I've been to France and Spain and Portobello, C G I've been moved on by the polis many times, C G C And when it rains I carry my umbrello, C G C But I only mention that because it rhymes. F C C So if you think I'm telling lies, you're in for a surprise, D G G If you hear a terrible roar, there's nae use bolting for the door. C F C C Or climbing on a chair, jist git doon and say your prayers, C G C For I've never told a lie in all my life.
