Robin Williamson - Brian O'Linn lyrics

Brian O'Linn had no britches to wear

So he got him a sheepskin to make him a pair

The leather side out and the wooly side in

"Sure its great summers clothing." said Brian

O'Linn

Brian O'Linn had no watch to put on

So he got him a turnip to make him a one

He put a wee cricket in under the skin

"Sure theyll think it is ticking," said Brian

O'Linn

Brian O'Linn and his wife and wifes mother

They all went home oer a wee bridge together

The bridge it was narrow, they all tumbled in

"Sure well go home by water," said Brian O'Linn

Brian O'Linn to his house had no door

Hed the sky for a roof and the bog for a floor

Hed a way to jump out and a way to swim in

"Sure theres great ventilation," said Brian

O'Linn

Brian O'Linn and his wife and wifes mother

They all lay down in the one bed together

The night it was cold and the blankets were thin

"Sure Ill sleep in the middle," said Brian O'Linn
