McGinn was one of the most important topical songwriters in the British Isles The song "Manura Manyah" written by Matt McGinn I've heard men complain O' the job that they're da'in', While howkin' the coal Or diggin'a drain; But whoever they are There is nane to compare Wi' a man that is shovellin' Manura Manyah. CHORUS: Wi manura manyah, wi' manura manyah, Wi' manura, manura, manura manyah. Oh, the streets o' the toon Were all covered aroon Wi' stuff that is lovely An' golden and broon. It was put there, of course By a big Clydesdale horse An' its name was manura, manura manyah. CHORUS: I followed its track Wi' a shovel an' sack And as often as not Wi' a pain in my back. It was all for the rent An' the beautiful scent O' manura, manura, manura manyah. CHORUS: But I'm feelin' so sore For my job's been took o'er An' everything now is mechanical po'er An' there's nowt left for me But the sweet memory O' manura, manura, manura manyah. CHORUS: O' manura, manura, manura manyah. CHORUS:
