SIXTEEN COME SUNDAY

As I walked down yon heathery moor
I met a bonnie wee lassie
she winked at me as she passed me by
and oh but she was handsome
with me (phonetic pronunciation follows!!) T(w)rat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, ant-in-aye
with my trat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, aye-doh.

Where are you goin', me bonnie wee lass
where are ye goin' me honey?
Quite mannerly she answered me
I've a message for me mammy
with me T(w)rat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, ant-in-aye
with my t(w)rat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, aye-doh.

Oh what's yer age, me bonnie wee lass,
Oh what's yer age me honey?
Quite mannerly she answered me
I'll be sixteen come next Sunday
with me T(w)rat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, ant-in-aye
with my t(w)rat-a-kin, ah-ta-kin, aye-doh.

Oh where do ye live, me bonnie wee lass,
Oh where do ye live, me honey?
Quite mannerly she answered me
Way down in yon green valley
with me etc.

Oh where do ye lie, me bonnie wee lass,
Oh where do ye lie, me honey?
Quite mannerly she answered me
In a bed behind me mammy
with me etc.

Will ye marry me, me bonnie wee lass,
Will ye marry me, me honey?
Quite mannerly she answered me
Will ye wait 'til I ask me mammy,
with me etc.

If I come down to yer house
When the moon be shinin' clearly
Will you open yer door and let me in
And yer mammy she won't hear me
with me etc.

So I went down to her house
but her mammy chanced to hear me
She pulled her daughter by the hair
and she hit her three times over
with me etc.
(Then I repeat the first verse again)
