Leaboys Lassie lyrics
Song information
Artist: Mary Black Album: By The Time It Gets Dark
Lyrics
First when I came to the town They called me young and bonny Now they've changed my name Called me the leaboy's honey
I'll dye my petticoats red And I'll face them with a yellow I'll tell the dyester lads That the leaboys I've to follow
It's over hills and dales And over dykes and ditches Say will I like the lad Who wears the moleskin breeches
The black horse draws the cart And he's as proud as any Say will I like the lad That drives them on so canny
Feather beds are fine And painted rooms are bonny But I would leave them all To jog away with johnny
Oh, for saturday night It's I that'll see my dearie He'll come whistlin' in When I am tired and weary
First when I came to the town They called me proud and saucy Now they've changed my name Called me the leaboy's lassie
