Biography:
Old Blind Dogs is a musical group which plays Celtic folk and traditional Scottish folk music, with influences from rock, reggae and Middle Eastern music rhythms. The three founding members of the band (Ian F. Benzie, Buzzby McMillan and Jonny Hardie) first met during a so-called "buskers' holiday" in the Scottish Highlands in 1990, and after playing together for the summer decided to call themselves "Old Blind Dogs". Dave Francis and Carmen Higgins joined the band soon afterwards

G D G
[Verse]
G
It was last Monday morning
G
Oh, as I have heard them say
G
Our orders, they came this afternoon
D G
We're bound to march away
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Verse]
G
Said the mother to the daughter
G
"What makes you talk so strange?
G
That you want to marry a soldier lad
D G
And the whole wide world to range
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Verse]
G
For the soldiers, they are ramblin' boys
G
They have but little pay
G
Can they maintain a wife and child
D G
On fifteen pence a day?"
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Verse]
G
Said the father to the daughter
G
"I'll have you close confined
G
You'll never marry a soldier lad
D G
He'll be no son of mine"
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Instrumental]
G D G x2
[Verse]
G
"Oh, if you confine me seven long years
G
And after set me free
G
I'll go and I'll follow me soldier lad
D G
When I gain my liberty
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Verse]
G
For my true love's dressed in scarlet
G
And turned up with the blue
G
And every place that he goes in
D G
My sweetheart is true"
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
D G
To cry, "What shall I do?"
[Verse]
G
Now we've gotten sweethearts enough, brave boys
G
Girls to please our minds
G
But we'll never forget sweet Manchester
D G
And the girls we left behind
[Chorus]
G
For the Lancashire lads have gone abroad
G
Whatever shall we do?
G
They're leaving many's a pretty fair maid
