Monymusk Lads - Ewan MacColl[00:00:00]

As I cam' in by Monymustk[00:00:02]

And doon by Alford's dale [00:00:04]

A sad misfortune happened to me[00:00:05]

And I think nae shame to tell [00:00:07]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:00:09]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:00:10]

As I gaed in by Monymustk [00:00:14]

The moon was shining clear;[00:00:16]

And I held on to Lethendy[00:00:18]

To see my Maggie dear [00:00:20]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:00:21]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:00:22]

I did gang when I did think[00:00:26]

That a' were sleepin' soun' [00:00:28]

But plague upon yon auld wife[00:00:30]

For she cam' slinkin' doon [00:00:31]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:00:33]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:00:34]

Sae cannily she slipped the lock[00:00:38]

And set the door agee;[00:00:40]

Then crawled upon her hands and knees[00:00:42]

To see what it could be [00:00:44]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:00:45]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:00:47]

Then to the bells wi' a' her micht[00:00:50]

Sae loud she made thern ring [00:00:52]

Till faith I thoeht aboot my lugs[00:00:54]

The biggin she would bring [00:00:55]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:00:57]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:00:58]

And when she saw I wouldn't need slip [00:01:02]

She ran to the guidman [00:01:04]

Says There's a lad into the hoose [00:01:05]

And that I winna stand [00:01:07]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:01:09]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:01:10]

For it is a most disgraceful thing [00:01:13]

It would provoke a saunt [00:01:15]

To see a' the servant girls wi' lads [00:01:17]

When the gentle anes maun want [00:01:19]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:01:20]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:01:22]

Providence has acted wrang [00:01:26]

Sic pleasures for to gie[00:01:27]

Tae ony servant lad or lass[00:01:29]

Just working for a fee [00:01:31]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:01:32]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:01:34]

The auld man he cam' ben himsel'[00:01:38]

And he pushed ben his heid;[00:01:40]

Guidfaith I thocht it was a ghost[00:01:42]

Just risen frae the deid [00:01:43]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:01:45]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:01:46]

He'd duddy draws upon his legs [00:01:50]

He'd on a cap o' white [00:01:51]

And he'd a face as lang's my leg[00:01:53]

And in his hand a light [00:01:55]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:01:57]

Fal to toodle I doe [00:01:58]

He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad[00:02:01]

An' pushed me oot o' doors [00:02:03]

Thinks I my auld lad I'll come back[00:02:05]

When sleepin' gars ye snore [00:02:07]

Fal to too a riddle doo [00:02:08]

Fal to toodle I doe[00:02:10]
