[Verse 1] Take the heart The liver The lung My granny’s old rhyme still on my tongue Oatmeal toasted Onions browned light Pepper and spice for a cold Highland night [Chorus] Cooking haggis Turn the pot again Sing for the hills and the wind and rain From Hebridean shore to Dublin town We pass the bowl and we pass it down (hey!) Cooking haggis Stitch the stories tight Of hunger Hope And a winter’s bite Taste of the past in a steaming round We pass the bowl and we pass it down [Verse 2] Rinse the casing Sturdy and clean Stuff it gentle Don’t burst the seam Tie it firm with a twist and a knot Lay it to rest in the simmering pot [Chorus] Cooking haggis Turn the pot again Sing for the hills and the wind and rain From Hebridean shore to Dublin town We pass the bowl and we pass it down (oh-ho!) Cooking haggis Stitch the stories tight Of hunger Hope And a winter’s bite Taste of the past in a steaming round We pass the bowl and we pass it down [Bridge] Once for the crofter Once for the clan Once for the wandering pipe and drum band Scots at the table Irish at the fire Sharing one plate and the same desire [Verse 3] Prick it softly Let the steam rise Smell of the soil and the stormy skies Set out the whisky Carve it with pride Honor the hands that have kept us alive [Chorus] Cooking haggis Turn the pot again Sing for the hills and the wind and rain From Hebridean shore to Dublin town We pass the bowl and we pass it down (hey!) Cooking haggis Lift your voice and cheer For every mother who fed us here Taste of the past in a steaming round We pass the bowl and we pass it down
