Lish young Buy-a-Broom |
As I went a-walking in the North Country |
Down by Kirby Steven I happened for to be |
As I was a-walking up and down the street |
A pretty little buy-a-broom I chanced to meet |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
She kindly then invited me to go a little way |
Yes was the answer to her I did say |
There was me with my music walkin' down the street |
And her with her tambourine was beatin' hand and feet |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
Straight way out for Kendal town we steered her and I |
Over you green mountain the weather being dry |
We each had a bottle filled up to the top |
And whenever we were feeling dry we took a little drop |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
The night was coming on and good lodgings we did find |
Eatables of all kind and plenty of good wine |
Good bed and blankets just for we two |
And I rolled her in me arms me boys, and wouldn’t you do too |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
Early the next morning we arose to go our way |
I called for the landlord to see what was to pay |
Fourteen and sixpence just for two |
Four crowns upon the table my darling then she threw |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
Well the reason that we parted I now shall let you hear |
She started off for Germany right early the next year |
But me being unwilling to cross the raging sea |
Here’s a health unto my bonny lass wherever she may be |
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way |
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray |
