In the village o' saut Preston
where the maisters auld Cadell,
fur he owns five branders on the forth
and the coal tae fire them as well,
ma faither's taen his oancoast shin
juist tae feed his bairns and wife,
aye and when that b_____ deed wis done
a wis thirled for a' ma life

CHORUS:

Here's a health tae the sauters
and the white gowd they make,
here's a health tae the sauters
that drink in the land o' Cailes

Noo aw the sauters ken me
and they ca' me Puddock Wull,
fur A wis boo leggit when A wis boarn
an bi goad A'm that wie still,
but A kin swim like oany fish
that's e'er cam oot the sea,
an tae fetch the buckets the furthest oot
there's nane as guid as me

REPEAT CHORUS

An A've manned these pans
these last ten years an A've worked
as fast as A can,
fur every box a sauter fills there's copper
in his hand,
but the grieve he is a dowsie raif
and he hates us every yin,
fur he wid make yer level drop
sae ye maun dae anither rin

REPEAT CHORUS

Here's a health
tae the saut work smugglers
aye an keep them frae gaugers hans,
fur they only take what they can spread
tae the puir for that hae nane,
fur they've taxed the saut ower heavy
an it shouldnae be taxed at aw,
it shouldna be just for the rich
there's enough here fur us aw

REPEAT CHORUS
