Mary Black - Leaboys Lassie текст песни

First when I came to the town

They called me young and bonny

Now theyve changed my name

Called me the leaboys honey.

Ill dye my petticoats red

And Ill face them with a yellow

Ill tell the dyester lads

That the leaboys Ive to follow.

Its over hills and dales

And over dykes and ditches

Say will I like the lad

Who wears the moleskin breeches

The black horse draws the cart

And hes as proud as any

Say will I like the lad

That drives them on so canny

Feather beds are fine

And painted rooms are bonny

But I would leave them all

To jog away with johnny

Oh, for saturday night

Its I thatll see my dearie

Hell come whistlin in

When I am tired and weary.

First when I came to the town

They called me proud and saucy

Now theyve changed my name

Called me the leaboys lassie.
