Lyrics
Take my bag on your shoulders, caddie
This ev’ning, ere I rest
I’m going all round the links, caddie
Intending to do my best
It’s nearly halfpast three, caddie
It’s dark by halfpast eight
So, off to the nearest tee, caddie
Before it gets too late
Oh! cheer up you golfers
Who, when you’ve been round
Are sad when your scores you recall
For I’ve played for a year
And, as sure as I’m here
I’ve never got round them at all
I’ve never got round them at all
