The Lichtbob's Lassie
First fin I cam' tae the toon
They can me young and bonnie
Noo they've changed my name
Cad' me the Lichtbob's honey
I'll dye my petticoats red
And face them wi' the yellow
I'll tell the dyster lad
That the lichtbobs I'm tae follow
Feather beds are saft
Painted rooms are bonnie
I will leave them a'
An' jog awa' wi' Johnnie
O, my back's been sair
Shearin' Cragie's corn
I winna see him the nicht
But I'll see him the morn
Oh for Saterday nicht
Syne I'll see my dearie
He'll vome whistlin' in
Fan I am tired an' weary.
