BRISK YOUNG LAD And oh but he was a brisk young lad A brisk young lad and a bra young lad Oh but he was a bra young lad Come seekin' me tae woo There come a young lad te my daddy's door My daddy's door, my daddy's door There come a young lad te my daddy's door Come seekin' meety woo And I was peekin' when he come When he come, oh when he come I took him in then I ga'im a scone Te thaw his frozen moo' Well I sat him doon beside the bank I ga' im mil' and ale for to drink But ne'er a place thine were de plank Before the wain was foo Well go your way ya cold right world Ya silly lookin' cold right world A straight way showed him te the door Sayin' come te me tae woo Well the lad jumped up a'fore the door A'fore the door, a'fore the door Well the lad jumped up a'fore the door And there he tripped and fell And oot came the old man and 'ow did he look And oot came the old wife 'ow did she shout Another two neighbors were ga'up the bout And there he lay, it's true And it's oot came I wi'a sneer and a smile I said young man, you're all beguiled You come here to woo, now you're all defiled And will hae ne' near or you @Scottish @courtship filename[ BRISKLAD BR |
