Paroles: Craig Herbertson. A Health to the Ladies. The Lichtbob's Lassie.

When first I cam ?tae the toon,
They ca?d me young an? bonnie;
Noo they?ve chang?d my name,
Ca?d me the lichtbob?s honey.
When first I cam? tae the toon,
They ca?d me proud an? saucy;
Noo they?ve changed my name,
Ca?d me the lichtbob?s lassie.
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.
Oh, my back?s been sair,
Shearin? Craigie?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 come whistlin? in,
Fan I am tired an? weary
