This is what Archie sings on 'Will Ye Gang Love' (1976):
LAIRD O' UDNY'S WA'S (Trad)
O I'm the laird o' Udny's Wa's And I've come here wi' richt guid cause And I've had mair that thirty fa's Comin' oot owre the plain O let me in this ae nicht This ae ae ae nicht O let me in this ae nicht And I'll never speir back again
My mother, she does soundly sleep And my bedroom door does chirrup and cheep My bedroom door does chirrup and cheep And I cannae let ye in So gang ye hame this ae nicht This ae ae ae nicht Gang ye hame this ae nicht And never speir back again
I'll oil your door gin it maun squeak And it will neither chirrup nor cheep No it will neither chirrup nor cheep And I'll get slippin' in O let me in this ae nicht, This ae ae ae nicht O let me in this ae nicht, And I'll never speir back again
When he's got in he was sae gled He's taken his bonnet frae off of his head And he's kissed her on the cheeks sae red And the auld wife heard the din O but well she likit that ae nicht That ae ae ae nicht O weel she likit that ae nicht She let her laddie in
When he got in he was sae gled He's knockit the bottom-boards oot o' the bed And he stole the lassie's maidenhead And the auld wife heard the din O but well she likit that ae nicht That ae ae ae nicht O weel she likit that ae nicht That she let her laddie in
Jeannie Robertson called itThe Laird o' Windywa's. One comment as yet missing from My Songbook:
[1995:] Udny is a small village a dozen miles north of Aberdeen (Peter Hall, notes 'Folk Songs of North-East Scotland')
