Ye ken my love johnny
He's doon in yonder lea
He's aye teasie weasel
And he's aye teasin' me
But i hae a brother
That's as good as any lad
So if it's e'er gan tae be
Tell me noo johnny lad
Tell me noo johnny lad
So if it's e'er gan tae be
Tell me noo johnny lad
It was in aboot the hervest time
The toons were in a steer
There was plenty for ane
And a' o' brais bread and beer
And i looked into his eye
And i modestly did say
If it's e'er gan tae be
Tell me noo johnny lad
Tell me noo johnny lad
If it's e'er gan tae be
Tell me noo johnny lad
The sheep are in the fold
And the kye are in the byre
And a' the lads and la**ies
Roond the rattlin' roarin' fire
And there's me a glackit
La**ie goin' on a i wis mad
Roond the stooks and barn books
Jinkin' you johnny lad
Jinkin' you johnny lad
Roond the stooks and barn nooks
Jinkin' you johnny lad
