Biografía:
The Corries were a Scottish folk group which emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group went through several changes of line-up in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson (1936 - 1990) and Ronnie Browne that it is best known. The early 1970s were the Corries' finest hour.
In 1962, Roy Williamson teamed up with Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn to form the "Corrie Folk Trio". Their first performance was in the Waverley Bar in St Mary's Street, Edinburgh.

[Verse]
Am
He was a fine upstanding bantam cock,
Am
So brisk and stiff and spry,
G F Em
With springy step and jaunty plume
E Am
And a purposeful look in his eye,
E Am
In his little black laughing eye,
[Verse]
Am
I took him to the coop and introduced him
Am
To my seventeen wide-eyed hens.
G F Em
He tupped and he tupped as a hero tups
E Am
And he bowed to them all, and then
E Am
He upped and he tupped 'em all again, he did.
[Verse]
Am
And then upon the peace of me ducks and me geese
Am
He boldly did intrude.
G F Em
With glazed eyes and open mouths
E Am
They bore it all with fortitude
E Am
And a little bit of gratitude, they did.
[Verse]
Am
He jumped my giggling guinea fowl
Am
He thrust his attentions upon
G F Em
My twenty hysterical turkeys and
E Am
A visiting migrant swan.
E Am
But the bantam thundered on, he did.
[Verse]
Am
He groped me fan-tailed pigeons and
Am
Me lily-white columbine,
G F Em
And as I was locking up the budgerigar
E Am
He jumped my parrot from behind;
E Am
Who was sitting on me shoulder at the time.
[Verse]
Am
But all of a sudden with a gasp and a gulp
Am
He clapped his hands to his head,
G F Em
Fell flat on his back with his feet in the air.
E Am
My bantam cock lay dead
E Am
And the vultures circled overhead.
[Verse]
Am
What a noble beast; what a champion cock;
Am
What a way to live and to die.
G F Em
I was diggin' him a grave to protect his bones
E Am
From the hungry buzzards in the sky
E Am
When the bantam opened up a sly little eye.
[Verse]
Am
He gave me a wink and a terrible grin
Am
The way that rapists do.
G F Em
He said, 'You see them silly daft buggers up there?
E Am
They'll be down in a minute or two;
E Am
They'll be down in a minute or two.'
