          D
Well the hills are pretty and rollin'
          F        G         D
But the thorn is sharp and swollen
         D
And the man plays a beautiful whistle
        F        G       D
But he wears a prickly thistle
         D
Singing Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
        F     G       D
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
 D
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
        F     G       D
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

            D
The silver birches pierce through an icy fog
       F           G          D
Which covers the ground most daily
        D
And the angels which carry St. Andrew high
     F         G         D
Are singing a tune most gaily

One sound can hold back a thousand hands
When the pipe plays a tune forlorn
And the thistle is a prickly flower
Aye, But how it is sweetly worn
Singing Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
