And it’s over the mountain and over the Main,
Through Gibralter, to France and Spain.
Pit a feather tae your bonnet, and a kilt aboon your knee,
Enlist my bonnie laddie and come awa with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If yer horses was to fleg, and yer owsen was to rin,
This greedy ole farmer, he wouldna pay yer fee.
Sae list my bonnie laddie and come awa wi’ me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ole farmer, he thinks ye never tire.
It’s slavery a’ yer life, a life o’ low degree.
Sae list my bonnie laddie and come awa with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ye’ll easily get rid o’ that ill-spun yarn.
Twa rattles o’ the drum, aye and that’ll pay it a’.
Sae list my bonnie laddie and come awa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
