[Intro]

[Verse]
D G
Heather will fade, aye bracken will die
D C
Streams will run cold and clear
G D
Aye, the small birds will be going
G D
For it's then that you'll be knowing
C G
That the terror time is here
[Verse]
D G
The woods give no shelter, and the trees, they are bare
D C
Snows lying all around
G D
Oh, the young children are crying
G D
For the bed on which they're lying
C G
Is frozen to the ground
[Verse]
D G
And when you need the warmth of your own human kind
D C
You move near a town and then
G D
Oh, the sight of you is offending
G D
The police they soon are sending
C G
And you're on the road again
[Instrumental]

D G D G
[Verse]
D G
Whaur will ye gang, aye and whit will ye dae?
D C
Noo that the work's all done
G D
And the fairmer doesnae need ye
G D
And the Cooncil willnae feed ye
C G
And you're on the road again
[Verse]
D G
Heather will fade, aye bracken will die
D C
The streams will run cold and clear
G D
Aye, the small birds will be going
G D
For it's then that you'll be knowing
C G
That the terror time is here
