[C] [G] [C]
[VERSE]
We're a' met taegither here tae [F]sit and tae [C]crack
Wi' oor glasses in oor hands and oor [F]wark upon oor [G]back
There's [C]nae a trade among them a' could [F]either mend or [C]mak
If it wisnae for the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[CHORUS]
If it wisnae for the [G]weavers, [Am]what a' would they [Em]do?
For [F]they wadnae [C]hae claith [F]made o' oor [G]woo'
[C]They wadnae hae a coat, [F]neither black nor [C]blue
Gin it was a' nae for the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[VERSE]
The hireman chiels they mock us and the [F]crack a' a[C]boots
They say we are thin-faced an' [F]sennem in their [G]boots
But [C]yet for a' their mockery, they [F]cannae dae with[C]oots
Nor they cannae want the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[CHORUS]
Gin it wisnae for the [G]weavers, [Am]what a' would they [Em]do?

Gin it was a' nae for the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[VERSE]
There's aricht and there's slaters and there's [F]glaziers and [C]a'
There's doctors and there's menisters and [F]them that live for [G]law
And oor [C]friends in Sooth America, tho' [F]them we never [C]saw
But we ken they wear the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[CHORUS]

[VERSE]
There's oor sailors and oor sodgers, we [F]ken they're a' [C]bold
But if they had nae claes to wear, they [F]couldnae fecht for [G]cold
The [C]high and low, the rich and puir, a'[F]body young an' [C]old
They winnae want the wark o' the [G]wea[C]vers
[CHORUS]
If it wisnae for the [G]weavers, [Am]what a' would they [Em]do?

The weavin' is a trade, boys, that [F]nivver can [C]fail
As lang as what we try tae keep [F]one another [G]hale
Sae [C]let us aye be merry ower a [F]pint o' gud [C]ale
And drink tae the health o' the [G]wea[C]vers
