They cad me young an bonnie;
Noo theyve changd my name,
Cad me the lichtbobs honey.
When first I cam tae the toon,
They cad me proud an saucy;
Noo theyve changed my name,

And face them wi the yellow:
Ill tell the dyster lad
That the lichtbobs Im tae follow.
Feather beds are saft,
Painted rooms are bonnie;
I will leave them a,
An jog awa wi Johnnie.
Oh, my backs been sair,
Shearin Craigies corn:
I winna see him the nicht,
But Ill see him the morn.
Oh for Saterday nicht,
Syne Ill see my dearie,
Hell come whistlin in,
Fan I am tired an weary
