The Lyrics

How high was I each morn ta' see
My lass come o'er yon hill

We tripped together, she an' me
Wasted but with good will

Ah, the 'shroom
The bonny, bonny 'shroom!
The 'shroom grow'd on cow dung piles
One an' I'd be,
In my brain country,
Girning mah Scottish smile!

We neither heard of news nor man
While in drunkness we lay

We gathered fungus sweet at night
Got stoned free all the day

Ah, the 'shroom
The bonny, bonny 'shroom!
The 'shroom grow'd on cow dung piles
One an' I'd be,
In my brain country,
Girning mah Scottish smile!

Not ate, so she would famished be
Sang, "Deary, feed me this 'morn!"

I fed her such a mushroom cap
Then heather's bed was ourn

Ah, the 'shroom
The bonny, bonny 'shroom!
The 'shroom grow'd on cow dung piles
One an' I'd be,
In my brain country,
Girning mah Scottish smile!

Farewell, ye cow dung piles, farewell
Farewell all pleasures there

No longer I dare try again
Fungus shite's raisin' there

Ah, the 'shroom
The bonny, bonny 'shroom!
The 'shroom grow'd on cow dung piles
One an' I'd be,
In my brain country,
Girning mah Scottish smile!

Thank you, John, Rick, Pat, and Peter. It's just a Scottish cow-flop-fungus-eatin' kind of day.

Don't know the original song so I'll let the pacing slide: fives all round for a good folk sendup!
