WHAT CAN A YOUNG LASSIE



cho: What can a young lassie, what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie di wi' an old man? 2x



Bad luck on the penny that tempted my Minnie

T' sell her poor Jenny f'r cellar and land 2x



He's always complainin' fra' mornin' t' evenin'

He hosts an' he harples the weary be lang



He's doilt and he's dozin,' his blood it is frozen

Oh, drear is the nicht wi' a crazy old man



He hums and he hankers, he frets and he cankers

I never can please him, do all that I can



He's peevish and jealous of all the young fellas

Oh, dool on the day I met wi' an old man

My old Auntie Katie upon me taks pity

I'll do my endeavor t' follow her plan



I'll cross him and wrack him until I hear crackin'

And then his old brass will by me a new pan
