What does the Scottish or Australian terms "haver" and "havering" mean?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43691points) November 26th, 2022

The Scottish group, The Proclaimers had a song, (I’m gonna be) 500 miles, that reached number 1 in 1989.
Here is the song with lyrics: 500 Miles
I’ve listened to it many times and still can’t figure out what they are saying. In the second verse they use the terms “Haver” and “Havering.” What does that mean?

Are there any Aussies here who can help?
