The Rattling Stirling Bus
1
Gather round the comrades
And listen while I tell
Of the good old Rattling Stirling Bus
The people know so well
It was driven once by Leo
Who was handy at the wheel
And afterwards by a classy young guy
Whose name was known as Neil
Now she's driven by Hughie who is liked by all of us
For the whole year now he's driving the Rattling Stirling Bus
2
She travels in from Sydney
To Stirling she will roll
You think the roar and rattle
Some night would take it's toll
And when she's seen coming
Oh what an awful fuss
and what a terrible drive is made
For the Rattling Stirling Bus
3
Sometimes there is a dozen lights
A gleaming oh so bright
But often there is only one
On the Rattling Stirling Bus
4
Sometimes Hughie blows the horn you'd think
the thing would burst
and now there isn't any on
The Rattling Stirling Bus
5
So Grab yourself a seat boys
And sing a song for us
We're heading for a good old time
On the Rattling Stirling Bus.
Note: The words for this song were given to me by Donald Morrison.Pearl MacLeod MacDoald also has a copy of this song. Chrissy MacMillan and Duncan and Greta MacLeod have told me that this song was written by Harold Langley, formerly from Guysborough County.
