Mount and Go |
My parents married me o’er young |
To an old carle both bald and dumb |
His love was done and mine new sprung |
An' I’ll fly the plains wi' my laddie-o. |
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go |
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go |
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go |
Go, an' I’ll go wi' ye o. |
I will leave my good peat stack |
Sae wid I my guid kailyard |
Sae wid I my auld bald laird |
And fly the plains wi' my laddie-o. |
The old man he fell fast asleep |
An' out o' his arms she quickly did creep |
The keys o' the cabin she did keep |
And she’s flown the plains wi' her laddie-o |
The auld man wakened in the ha' |
The sheet was cauld an' she was awa' |
An' the wecht o' hersel' o' gold an' a' |
An' she’s flown the plains wi' her laddie-o. |
Ye’ll gang doon tae yon seashore |
An' ye’ll see a ship faur she was before |
An' ask at the skipper if she’s been there |
Or if any of the sailors saw her-o. |
When they were sailing on the sea |
She drank their health right merrily |
An' she threw the wine glass into the sea |
For joy she had won wi' her laddie-o. |
When they landed o’er the lea |
She was lady o' fifty ploughs an' three |
She was lady o' fifty ploughs an' three |
An' she dearly loves her laddie-o. |
