Emily Smith - The Bleacher Lassie O' Kelvinhaugh lyrics
Your rating:
As I was walking one summer's evening A walking doon by the Broomielaw It's wha did I spy but a bonnie young lassie She'd cherry cheeks aye, and a skin like snaw Says I ma lassie will ye gan wi me? I'll dress ye up in fifine satins braw Oh no kind sir I would raither tarry A wee bleacher lass, here on Kelvinhaugh Oh lassie, lassie, ye are hard hairted I wish your fair face I never saw For I will go an' fifind another young lassie Doon by the bleach fields o' Kelvinhaugh Tis seeven years since I had a sweetheart And seeven mair since I did him see And seeven mair I will wait upon him If he's alive he'll return to me Oh lassie, lassie, ye hae been faithful Oh lassie, lassie, ye hae been true For I'm your young lad and single sailor Wha's come afar for tae wed wi' you If you're my young lad and single sailor Your face and features seem strange to me But seeven years makes great alteration Ah the ragin' seas between you and me It's noo this couple they hae got mairried And run an ale hoose atween them twa And the sailor lads they aye come drinkin Tae the bleacher lass o' Kelvinhaugh
