I'm a' doun, doun, doun, |
|
I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie; |
|
I'm a' doun, doun, doun, |
|
I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie. |
|
Gin Johnnie kent I was na weel, |
|
I'm sure he would come to me; |
|
But o, gin he's forsaken me, |
|
Och hone! what will come o' me! |
|
I'm a' doun, doun, doun, |
|
I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie; |
|
I'm a' doun, doun, doun, |
|
I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie. |
|
I sit upon an auld feal sunk, |
|
I spin and greet for Johnnie; |
|
But gin he's gi'en me the begunk, |
|
Och hone! What will come o' me! |
|
Gin Johnnie kent: if Johnnie knew |
|
Och hone: alas |
|
auld feal sunk: old turf-seat |
|
greet: weep |
|
gi'en me the begunk: jilted me |
