\n\n\n\n1. Last week when Alexander McIntosh
Returned from a trip to Yankee Land
He got a half a dozen pipers with their bagpipes
And organized a band
He brought back with him a Yankee tune
That was written all about a coon
Now he\u2019s playing it, crowds hurraying it
Because he plays it grand, you understand
You understand that it\u2019s a bagpipe, ragpipe band<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus
Come on and hear the bagpipes raggin\u2019 up a tune
In Alexander\u2019s bagpipe band
Come on and see McPherson acting like a coon
In Alexander\u2019s bagpipe band
Sandy McGregor is a ragtime Scot
Come see him do the Hieland Turkey Trot
The only ragtime Scotchman in the land
Come on and see the lassies kicking up their kilties
When they do a ragtime fling
Come on and hear the piper\u2019s play a Scotish rag
And hear the crowds begin to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot on the Swanee River
Come on along and take your lassie by the hand
To Alexander\u2019s bagpipe band<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Ragtime was never meant for Scotchman
Just the same, Mister Alexander knows
Just how to play it till you feel as if a highball
Was going to your toes
Come and hear the lassies all declare
Hoot mon, Sandy, it\u2019s a Hielan\u2019 Bear
On the heather they Dance together
With a Yankee Ragime air
Come on along, come on along
You\u2019ll see the Scotch Bon-buddys there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
