Ma Maw's a Millionnaire

Ma Maw's a Milllionaire (800)_tcm4-573360

In addition to the verses below, singer Alastair MacDonald remembers a verse from Glasgow in the 1950s:

Stots my faither off the wa
Like a wee cahoutchie ba

'Cahoutchie' is an old word for 'rubber'.

 

Ma maw's a millionaire
Blue eyes and curly hair
See her walkin doon the street
Wi her big banana feet
Ma maw's a millionaire

Ma maw's a millionaire - wid ye believe it?
Blue eyes and curly hair
Sittin among the Eskimos
Playin the game of dominoes
Ma maw's a millionaire

I know a teddy bear
Blue eyes and curly hair
Roly poly through the town
Knockin all the people down
I know a teddy bear

'Ma Maw's a Millionnaire', performed by Ewan McVicar From Scottish Songs for Younger Children, Gallus recordings.
