Lyrics |
First when i came to the town They called me young and bonny Now they've changed my name Called me the leaboy's honey.
I'll dye my petticoats red And i'll face them with a yellow I'll tell the dyester lads That the leaboys i've to follow.
It's 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 he's 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 It's i that'll see my dearie He'll come whistlin' in When i am tired and weary.
First when i came to the town They called me proud and saucy Now they've changed my name Called me the leaboy's lassie.
