I go a walk down memory lane |
| As I go a walk down memory lane I remember some times when I was a wain I’d walk to school with my old wellie boots The lassies fae school pulled my hair from the roots And the laddies at school well they’d stand and laugh Shouting ‘Hey dirty tinker have you heard of a bath?” I would walk the fields home It was a good 2, 3 mile It was then that I realised school wasn’t worthwhile Janet, 16 Remembering Who I Am, by Janet Betsy McAllister "Remembering Who I Am is a set of moving poems by Janet Betsy McAllister, a young Gypsy woman from Stirling.
