This one?


Chorus:
Ploughboy-o, ploughboy-o
Follow the rovin' ploughboy-o

Saddle tae me my old grey mare
Saddle tae me my pony-o
And noo she's on the road and she's far far awa'
Awa' wi' her rovin' ploughboy-o

Champion ploughboy her Geordie lad
Cups and medals and prizes-o
In bonnie Deveron-side there is none can compare
Wi' the jolly rovin' ploughboy-o

Yestreen she lay in a fine feather bed
Sheets and blankets sae cosy-o
And noo she maun lie in a cauld barn-shed
Ro'ed in the arms o' her ploughboy-o

Fare thee weel tae auld Huntly toon
Fare thee weel Drumdelgie-o
And noo she's on the road and she's far far awa'
Awa' wi' her rovin' ploughboy-o
