NEW BOOTS
(Nancy Nicolson)

CHORUS
New Boots, grand and fine
New Boots, tanned and shiny
New Boots of supple leather
New boots for new weather

I see sun and spring,
But my feet are weary
Would you dance and sing
Change your boots, my dearie
CHORUS

Old boots traveled far,
Traveled far and steady;
Steady, aye, but stiff;
Too stiff for this lady
CHORUS

Old boots kept out rain
Though the streets were running
But their sturdy grain
Never let the sun in
CHORUS

Old boots may be cast,
Give them no back-glancing;
Lay them by at last,
Little do they know of dancing
CHORUS (twice)


Recorded by Frankie Armstrong on "I Heard a Woman Singing" (1998)
