Ah got 'em!
LYRICS:
Oh Lass gin ye would think it richt Tae gang wi' me this very nicht And cuddle til the morning licht By a' the lave unseen oh
And you shall be my dearie My ane my dearest dearie And you shall be my dearie Gin ye'll meet me at e'en oh
I daurnae frae my mammy gae She locks the door and hides the key And morn and evening charges me And aye about the men oh
She says they're a' deceivers Deceivers, deceivers She says they're a' deceivers Ye cannae trust tae ane oh
Oh never mind your mammy's yell Nae doubt she met your dad hersel' And should she flyte you may her tell She's oft times done the same oh
So lassie gies yer hand on't Your bonnie milk white hand on't So lassie gies yer hand on't And scorn tae lie your lane oh
Alas my hand I cannae gie But aiblins I can steal the key And meet you at yon birkin tree That grows doon the glen oh
But dinnae lippen laddie I cannae promise laddie So dinnae lippen laddie In case I cannae win oh
So he's gone tae that birkin tree In hopes his true love there tae see When who cam' tripplin ower the lea But just his bonnie Jean oh
And she's sat doon beside him Beside him beside him And she's sat doon beside him Upon the grass sae green oh
