Ettrick Lady |
As I gang doon the Etrick Highway at the hour o' 12 at night; |
What should I spy but a handsome las-sie, combin' her hair by candlelight |
First she combed it, then she brushed it; |
Tied it up wi' a velvet band; |
Ne’er hae I seen such a handsome lassie |
All up an' doon ov’r all Scotland! |
Fallah-tallah rhu-dhumma, rhu-dhum, rhu-u-dhum; |
Fallah-tallah rhu-dhumma, rhu-dhum-day! |
Lassie, I hae come a-courting, your kind favors for to win; |
And if you’d but smile upon me, next Sunday night I’ll call again |
So to me you came a-courting, my kind favors for to win; |
But 'twould give me the greatest pleasure if you never would call again! |
What would I do, when I go walking, walking out in the Ettrick view; |
What would I do when I go walking, walkin' oot wi' a laddie like you? |
— Cho. |

Lassie, I hae gold and silver, lassie I hae houses and land |
Lassie, I hae ships on the ocean, they’ll a' be at you’r command |
What do I care for your gold and silver |
What do I care for your houses and land? |
What do I care for your ships on the ocean?; |
When all I want is a handsome man! |
— Cho. |

Did you ever see the grass in the morning, all bedecked with jewels rare? |
Did you ever see a handsome lassie, diamonds sparkling in her hair? |
Did you ever see a copper kettle, mended up wi' an old tin can? |
Did you ever see a handsome lassie married up tae an ugly man? |
