G#m F# B B/A# G#m
C# wind from north is blowing from the mountain side
G#m F# B B/A# G#m
I'm standing in the rain and I am full of pride
E B D#7 G#m
All my clothes are torn, | but I feel newborn
G#m F# G(!) D(!) G#m
Just to cross the river and I’m back home
Refrain
B Bsus4 B C#m
Catch me, catch me, if you can
B Bsus4 B C#m
Catch me, catch me, if you can
D#7 D#7 G#m G#m
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
