As I cam in by Monymusk And doon by Alford's dale A sad misfortune happened to me And I think nae shame to tell Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
As I gaed in by Monymusk The moon was shining clear And I held on to Lethendy To see my Maggie dear Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
I did gang when I did think That a' were sleepin' soun' But plague upon yon auld wife For she cam' slinkin' doon Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
Sae cannily she slipped the lock And set the door agee Then crawled upon her hands and knees To see what it could be Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
Then to the bells wi' a' her micht Sae loud she made them ring 'Til faith, I thocht aboot my lugs The biggin she would bring Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
And when she saw I wouldna slip She ran to her guidman Says, "There's a lad into the hoose And this I winna stand Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
For it's a most disgraceful thing It would provoke a saunt To see a' the servant girls wi' lads When the gentle anes maun want Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
Providence has acted wrang Sic pleasures for to gie Tae ony servant lad or lass Just working for a fee" Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
The auld man, he cam ben himsel And he pushed ben his heid Guidfaith, I thocht it was a ghost Just risen frae the deid Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
He'd duddy drawers upon his legs He'd on a cap o' white And he'd a face as lang's my leg And in his hand a light Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye do
He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad And pushed me out o' doors Thinks I, my auld lad, I'll come back When sleepin' gars ye snore Fal to too ril, fal to too ril aye doTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
