TO PAD THE ROAD WI' ME

Says I, "My dearest Mollie,
    Come let us fix the time
When you and I will married be,
    And wedlock us combine.
When you and I get married, love,
    Right happy we will be,
For ye are the bonnie lassie
    That's to pad the road wi' me."

"To pad the road wi' you, kind sir;
    Cauld winter's coming on,
Besides my aged parents
    Have ne'er a girl but one;
Besides, my aged parents
    Have ne'er a girl but me,
So I'm no the bonnie lassie
    That's to pad the road wi' thee."

"Oh, never mind cauld winter, love,
    The spring will follow soon;
Come sit ye down beside me,
    And I'll sing you a nice song.
I'll sing you a nice song,
    While I diddle you on my knee,
For ye are the bonnie lassie
    That's to pad the road wi' me."

Saw she has donned her hose and shoon,
    And to the kirk they've gaen,
And lang, ay lang ere morning
    That couple were made ane.
And lang, lang ere the morning
    Her troubles were set free,
For she's the bonnie lassie
    That's to pad the road wi' me."
