Caller Oú (John Grey)
When winter winds howl and the sea rolling high
Our boatmen sae brave, all dangers defy
Their last haul on board, they steer for the shore
Their live cargo landed is soon at our door
Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou
At nicht roon the ingle sae canty are we
The Owster lass brings her treat frae the sea
Wi' music and sang as time passes by
We hear in the distance the creel lassies cry
Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou
Sae here's tae the boatman, at hame and awa'
At kirk and at fair there's nane gaes sae braw
And weel be their dames sae blythesome and fair
Their voices in evening is music tae hear
Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou

Caller Herrin
When ye were sleepin on your pillows,
Dream'd ye aught o our puir fellows,
Darkling as they faced the billows,
Aa to fill the woven willows!
Buy my caller herrin
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin,
Wha'll buy my caller herrin,
New drawn frae the Forth.
O when the creel o herrin passes
Ladies clad in silk and laces,
Gather in their braw pelisses,
Cast their heids and screw their faces.
Buy my caller herrin
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin,
Wha'll buy my caller herrin,
New drawn frae the Forth.
O neighbour wives now tent my tellin,
When the bonnie fish ye're sellin,
At a word aye be your dealin,
Truth will stand when a' thing's failin.
Buy my caller herrin,
They're nae brought here without brave darin,
Buy my caller herrin,
Ye little ken their worth:
Buy my caller herrin.
O ye may ca' them vulgar farin
Wives and mithers maist despairin,
Ca them lives o men

The Boatie Rows (by John Ewen) (A)
Oh weel may the boatie row
An muckle may she speed
Weel may the boatie row
That wins oor bairnies' breid
The boatie rows, the boatie rows, The boatie rows fu weel,
An’ muckle luck maintain the boat, The murlin an the creel
We dropped oor lines in Largo Bay
An fishes we got nine,
There's three t' bile an three t' fry,
An three t' bait the line
The boatie rows, the boatie rows, The boatie rows fu weel,
An’ muckle luck maintain the boat, The murlin an the creel
When Sandy, Jock and Janetie
Are up an gotten lear
They'll help t' gar the boatie row
An lichten a’ oor cares
The boatie rows, the boatie rows, The boatie rows fu weel,
An’ muckle luck maintain the boat, The murlin an the creel
Oh weel may the boatie row
That fills a heavy creel
An helps t' clad oor bairns an’ aa
An buys oor porridge meal
The boatie rows, the boatie rows, The boatie rows fu weel,
An’ muckle luck maintain the boat, The murlin an the creel
And when wi’ age we’re sair worn doon,
And hirplin’ roond the door,
They’ll row to keep us dry and warm,
As we did them before.
The boatie rows, the boatie rows, The boatie rows fu’ weel
And muckle lichter is the load, When love bears up the creel
