Old Siam Sir

Paul McCartney

Old Siam Sir

In a village in Old Siam, sir, there's a lady who's lost her way.

In an effort to find a man, sir, she found herself in the old UK.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

In a village in old east end, sir, she mea fellow who made her real.

Took her rushes to show, this man, sir,

He met her dad at the wedding meal.

In a letter from Old Siam, sir, came an awful tale of woe.

She decided the only answer was to get off a pile of dough.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

When a relative told her man, sir, he directed her not to stay.

In a village in Old Siam, sir, there's a lady who'se lost her way.

In a village in Old Siam, sir, there's a lady who'se lost her way.

In an effort to find a man, sir, she found herself in the old UK.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

She waited 'round in Walthamstowe, she skated 'round in Scarborough.

+ repeat first two lines of last verse, then repeat until fade:

Walthamstowe . . . Scarborough . . .
