alistair hulett and dave swarbrick - the lassies of neilston lyrics
![](https://grammarquiz.net/globalbanner.png)
[verse 1]
as a new diamond plucked oot o’ the mine
as bright as the dew in the first ray of sunshine
copwinders and doffers and spinners of twine
see the lassies of neilston in union combine
they came oot o’ the factory in nineteen and ten
as fair as the gowans that cover the glen
they pit doon their cutters and combs tae come ben
stood shoulder tae shoulder alang wi’ the men
[chorus]
the cauld winter sun when it touches the snaws
in spring sends the burn tumbin’ ower the hill
it’s a far better sight when the strike whistle blaws
and the lassies of neilston stream oot o’ the mill
[verse 2]
the midden spilled ower and the besom was deen
when the men folk of nitshill were keepin’ the hoose clean
doon at the picket line, barely sixteen
their daughters held cooncil wi’ great john maclean
and the first thing he telt them is ye must unionise
that way ye punch in excess o’ yer size
then jine wi’ the women who’re fightin’ for suffrage
come awa’ lassies he cried, tak’ the prize
[chorus]
the cauld winter sun when it touches the snaws
in spring sends the burn tumbin’ ower the hill
it’s a far better sight when the strike whistle blaws
and the lassies of neilston stream oot o’ the mill
the cauld winter sun when it touches the snaws
in spring sends the burn tumbin’ ower the hill
it’s a far better sight when the strike whistle blaws
and the lassies of neilston stream oot o’ the mill
[verse 3]
these were the days that they ca’d the unrest
workers fought back ‘stead o’ haudin a gab_fest
history came roon’ their courage tae test
and the lassies of neilston faught back wi’ the best
for they learnt fae macdougall and they learnt fae maclean
but the wans that shone oot were ideas o’ their ain
they marched in a thrang tae the mill owner’s hame
and telt him submit or we’ll skin ye right doon tae the bane
[chorus]
the cauld winter sun when it touches the snaws
in spring sends the burn tumbin’ ower the hill
it’s a far better sight when the strike whistle blaws
and the lassies of neilston stream oot o’ the mill
