First when I cam' tae the toon
They ca'd me young and bonnie
Noo they've changed my name
Call me the licht bob's honey

First when I cam' tae the toon
They ca'd me young and sonsie
Noo they've changed my name
Call me the licht bob's lassie

I'll die my petticoats red
And face them wi' the yellow
I'll tell the dyser lad
That the licht bob I'm tae follow

Feather beds are soft
And painted rooms are bonnie
I wad leave them 
And jog along wi' Johnny

Oh my heart's been sair
Shearin' Craigie's corn
I winnae see him the nicht
But I'll see him the morn'

First when I cam' tae the toon
They ca'd me young and sonsie
Noo they've changed my name
Call me the licht bob's lassie
