the sangate dandling song - rachel unthank lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
[?] my bonny bairn
[?] up on my arm
[?] and you soon will learn
to say “dada”, so canny
i hope ye daddy may be well
he’s long in coming from the keel
and though his face be like the [?]
i’d like a kiss from johnny

[verse 2]
thou really has the daddy’s chin
thou art like him, both leg and limb
and i, with pleasure, can thee sing
since thou belongs my johnny
johnny is a clever lad
last night he fuddled all he had
this morn he wasn’t very bad
he looked as blithe as any

[verse 3]
though thou’s the first, thou’s not the last
i mean to have my bairns fast
and when this happy time is past
i still will love my johnny
for his hair is brown and so is thine
thine eyes are grey, and so are mine
thy nose it tapers off so fine
there like the daddy johnny

[verse 4]
thy canny dowp is fat and round
and like thy dad, thou’s plump and sound
thou’s worth to me a thousand pounds
thou altogether bonny
when daddy’s drunk, he’ll take his knife
and threaten so to take my life
who wouldn’t be a keelman’s wife
and have a man like johnny

[verse 5]
yonder’s johnny, coming now
he looks the best among the crew
they’re all going to the barley mow
my canny godlike johnny
so let’s go get the bacon fried
and let us make a clean fireside
and on his knee he will thee ride
when he comes home to mammy
