Bothy Ballads – Turra Show

The lambs love leaping in the field,
aboot to be loaded up to go to turra show.

Hipping n hopping aff the trailer into their pens.
Once washed they are as shiny as a diamond.
Time for people to have a wonder roon.
Walking roon Turra
shows everyone’s shoes will be boggen after.
At the end of Turra show
everyone goes to the beer tent
The stands around the show starts to pack up.
Families are waiting to go out for supper or home.
My family and friends are
already at the kastille having a scran.

  1. I love the movement mentioned in the first few lines – leaping and hipping and hopping!
    Also the language used is brilliant… I love hearing fit wiy fowk actually spik. It’s hardly ever written doon.
    (boggen is a great word!)
