"Oh, hold your tongue, dear Sally, as i gang tae the town
|
And I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
|
I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
|
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow your jaunting car"
|
|
"Oh, the de'il gang wi' your lap dog, you jaunting cars and all
|
For I'd rather hae a young man tae row me fae the wall
|
Oh I'd rather hae a young man wi' no a penny at all
|
Before that I'd hae an old man tae row me fae the wall
|
|
"For your pipes they're never in order, your chanter's no in tune
|
And I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae
|
your room
|
I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae
|
your room
|
For I'd rather have a young man wi' no penny at all"
|
|
And now the old man's dead and gone, but he's left her a gey fee
|
He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae
|
free
|
He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae
|
free
|
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow her jaunting car
|
|
Oh and now she's gotten her young man wi' no a penny at all
|
Aye now she's gotten her young man tae row her fae the wall
|
But he's smashed her china cups and saucers; aye he's gone and
|
broke them all
|
And he's killed her bonnie wee lap dog that followed her jaunting
|
car
