LASSIE GATHERING NUTS



There was a lass and a bonnie lass

A-gathering nuts did gang

She pu'ed them haigh, she pu'ed them laigh

She pu'ed them whaur they hang, hang

She pu'ed them whaur they hang



Till tired at length, she laid them doon

An' sleept the wood amang

When by there cam' three lusty lads

Three lusty lads and strang, strang

Three lusty lads and strang



The first did kiss her rosy lips

He thought it was nae wrang

The second loos'd her bodice fair

Faced up wi' London whang...



An' what the third did to the lass

I's no' pit in this sang

But the lass wauken'd in a fright

An' says, "I hae slept lang."
