| [00:02.23] | Men Of Worth-Mary Black |
| [00:05.76] | Leave the land behind, laddie, better days to find |
| [00:09.83] | The companies have the money and they＇ll soon teach you the skills |
| [00:14.51] | Green fields fall away, the forties and the brae |
| [00:19.20] | Be a madman or a roustabout, they＇ll soon teach you to drill |
| [00:24.08] | But who will tend me sheep when I＇m far o＇er the deep? |
| [00:28.76] | Amanertune or the sea quest when the snow comes to the hill |
| [00:33.26] | La, la, la, |
| [00:36.14] | |
| [00:44.45] | Leave the fishing trade, lads, there＇s money to be made |
| [00:48.57] | The hand-line and the Shetland yawl are of a bygone day |
| [00:53.32] | Come to Aberdeen; sights you＇ve never seen! |
| [00:57.89] | Be a welder on the pipeline or a fitter out on the bay |
| [01:02.90] | |
| [01:03.72] | But when the job is over and your boat rots on the shore |
| [01:08.36] | How will you feed your family when the companies go away? |
| [01:13.08] | La, la, la, |
| [01:15.01] | |
| [02:01.39] | There＇s harbors to be built, lads, rigs to tow and tilt |
| [02:05.69] | To rest upon the ocean bed like pylons in the sea |
| [02:10.32] | Pipeline to be laid and a hundred different trades |
| [02:14.82] | That＇ll pay a decent living wage to the likes of you and me |
| [02:19.51] | I know you＇re men of worth; you＇re the best that＇s in the north |
| [02:24.01] | Not men of greed, but men who need the work that＇s come your way |
| [02:28.82] | From shore a new industry is born |
| [02:31.64] | Old Peterhead and Pomerty will never be the same |
| [02:37.88] | I know you＇re men of worth; you＇re the best that＇s in the north |
| [02:43.79] | Not men of greed, but men who need the work that＇s come your way |
| [02:47.68] | La, la, la, |
