|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
I love his teeth an' I love his skin
I love the very cairt he hurls in.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
Doon yonder den I coulda gotten a merchant,
Bit a' his stuff wisna worth a groat.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
Doon yonder den I coulda gotten a miller,
Bit the smell o' dust widda deen me ill.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
It's ilka time I gyang tae the stack,
I hear his wheep gie the ither crack.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
I see him comin' fae (frae?) yonder toon,
Wi' a' his ribbons hingin' roon an' roon.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
|
|
An' noo she's gotten her plooman lad,
As bare as ever he left the ploo.
|
|
An' sing laddie-aye, an' sing laddie-o
The plooman laddies are a' the go.
