| I’ll lay ye doun, love, I’ll treat ye decent
|
| I’ll lay ye doun, love, I’ll fill yer can
|
| I’ll lay ye doun, love, I’ll treat ye decent
|
| For surely I’m an honest man
|
| As I gaed oot ae December evenin'
|
| By the watter and the pleasant sand
|
| As I was walkin', I could hear them talkin'
|
| Sayin', «Surely he is an honest man»
|
| Lay ye doun, love, I’ll treat ye decent
|
| Lay ye doun, love, I’ll fill yer can
|
| Lay y doun, love, I’ll treat ye dcent
|
| For surely I’m an honest man
|
| I hae travelled far fae Inverey
|
| And doun as far as Edinburgh toun
|
| But I maun go and travel farther
|
| When I return I’ll lay ye doun
|
| Lay ye doun, love, I’ll treat ye decent
|
| Lay ye doun, love, I’ll fill yer can
|
| Lay ye doun, love, I’ll treat ye decent
|
| For surely I’m an honest man |
