“Tak It, Man, Tak It (I)”

Description

"When I was a miller in Fife, Losh, I thought that the sound o' the happer, said, 'Tak hame a wee flow to your wife.'" The singer lives his life, and constantly hears the temptation, upon seeing an item (especially drink) to "Tak it, man, tak it."

Notes

Roud links this song with "The Working Chap" as found in Ord, etc. I flatly don't see it. - RBW
