Lassie Wi' The Yellow Coatie
I hae meal an’ milk in plenty,
I hae kail an’ cakes fu’ dainty,
I’ve a but an’ ben fu’ genty,
But I want a wife like thee.
Chorus
Lassie wi’ the yellow coatie,
Will ye wed a muirlan’ Jockie?
Lassie wi’ the yellow coatie,
Will ye busk an’ gang wi’ me?
Although my mailen be but sma’,
An’ little gowd I hae to shaw,
I hae a heart without a flaw,
An’ I will gie it a’ to thee.
Wi’ my lassie an’ my doggie,
O’er the lea an’ through the boggie,
Nane on earth was e’er sae vogie,
Or as blythe as we will be.
Haste ye, lassie, to my bosom
While the roses are in blossom;
Time is precious, dinna lose them –
Flowers will fade, an’ sae will ye.
Last chorus
Lassie wi’ the yellow coatie,
Ah! tak’ pity on your Jockie;
Lassie wi’ the yellow coatie,
I’m in haste, an’ sae should ye.
