I'LL LAY YE DOON, LOVE



O I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent

I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll fill your can

O I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent

For surely he is an honest man



As I walked oot on a summer evenin'

Doon by the water and the pleasant strand

And as I was walkin, I heard them talkin'

Sayin', Surely he is an honest man



I hae traveled far frae Inverney

Aye, and doon as far as Edinburgh toon

And it's I maun gae, love, and travel further

But when I come back, I will lay ye doon



I maun leave ye noo, love, but I'll return

Tae ye my love and I'll tak' your hand,

Then no more I'll roam frae ye my love

Nae mair tae walk on a foreign strand.
