Lothian Lineman

Aye, busy day here today. A lot of chatter on the lines.

I am a lineman for the county.
And I fly the mainroad.
Lookin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing in the wire.
I can hear you thru the whine.
And the Lothian Lineman,
is still on the line.

I know I need a small vacation.
But it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south,
won't ever stand the strain.

And I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.
And the Lothian Lineman,
is still on the line.
