At It Again

Melody -

Though Geordie's a man I hav'nt seen lately
I met with his brother in Tain
Says I, "Do you think that he's still off the drink?"
"Oh no, he's at it again!"
Chorus:
Aye we telt him and aye we warned him
And aye he promised but then
At the turn o yer back he'd be right off the track
And noo he's at it again!

2. I asked him, "Is Geordie still makin' good whiskey?"
He's prone to distill now and then
"He'd been testin' a sup and near blew he's sel' up
But noo he's at it again!"
Chorus:

3. Geordie's the man for courtin' the ladies
He's tall and handsome but vain
He wed five or six but they tired of his tricks
And noo he's at it again!
Chorus:

4. I remember when Geordie discovered the horses
Then swore no to back them again
All his horses got bate, he had a devil of hate
But noo he's at it again!
Chorus:

5. The baliff caught Geordie doon poachin' the salmon
And off to the court he was taen
But the truth for to tell, he'd a rest in his cell
And noo he's at it again!
Chorus:
