words and music: Michael Seibt
Bm A D D/C# Bm
E wind from north is blowing from the mountain side
Bm A D D/C# Bm
I'm standing in the rain and I am full of pride
G D F#7 Bm
All my clothes are torn, | but I feel newborn
Bm A G(!) D(!) Bm
Just to cross the river and I’m back home
Refrain
D Dsus4 D Em
Catch me, catch me, if you can
D Dsus4 D Em
Catch me, catch me, if you can
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Last week I robbed the Bank of England in Glasgow Town
I took fifty-thousand pounds belonging to the crown
Yeah, they pestered me, | they were hot on my heels
Okay, they shot my horse, but they didn’t hit me
Refrain
Tomorrow I will buy a brand new wedding-dress
For the woman of my dreams living in Inverness
We will settle there | on the place she will prefer
And I will satisfy every wish of her
Refrain
…
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
