Well, well... much to my surprise, this one's not in the DT already:

Oh there come a young man to my Daddy's door
My Daddy's door
My Daddy's door
There come a young man to my Daddy's door
Come seekin' me to woo

Chorus (between each verse):
And ah but he was a bonny young man
A brisk young man and a braw young man
Ah but he was a bonny young man
Come seekin' me to woo

I took him in, into the bring (kitchen)
I gave him bread & ale to drink
But ne'er a broon eye would he blink
Until his wain was foo

There lay a broon dog before the door
Before the door, before the door
There lay a broon dog before the door
And there he tripped & fell

Then out come the old man & high(sp?) did he shout
And out come the old wife and Lord, did she lout (sp?)
And all 12 neighbours gathered about
And there he lay, it's true

Then out come I with a sneer & a smile
And I said "Young man, you have us beguiled
You came here to woo, now you're all defiled
And we'll ha' no more o' you!"


Heard some people sing this at a local festival in the Detroit area when I was a teenager and fell in love with it; afraid I don't know anything else about it really, except they introduced it as a song about the "utter humiliation" of a young man who was apparently more interested in the food than the girl he was supposedly "wooing"...
