Susanne (skw) Lyr Req: Drinkings not for you? (28) Lyr Add: LADIES' EVENING SONG (Trad / James Hogg) 06 May 02


This is it, I think - I'm too lazy to look for it elsewhere. As sung by The McCalmans on their 'Ettrick Shepherd' LP (1980).

LADIES' EVENING SONG
(Trad / James Hogg)

Oh the glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O
The glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie O
The glass is no' for you
For it dyes your manly brow
And it fills you roarin' fu', bonnie laddie O

Then drive us not away wi' your drinkin' O
We like your presence mair than you're thinkin' O
How happy will you be
In our blithesome companye
Taking innocence and glee for your drinking O

Now your e'en are glancing bright, bonnie laddie O
Wi' a pure and joyful light, bonnie laddie O
But at ten o'clock at night
Tak' a lady's word in plight
We will see anither sight, bonnie laddie O

There's a right path and a wrong, bonnie laddie O
Oh you needna argue lang, bonnie laddie O
For the mair you taste and see
O' our harmless companye
Aye the happier you'll be, bonnie laddie O
