Jenny's bawbee. To which are added, The Caledonian Laddie. The Tippling Old Cobbler./The Caledonian Laddie
BLYTHE Sandy is a bonny boy,
And always is a wooing,
Nor is he e’er too bold or coy,
Although he is a-looing;
Last night he press’d me to his breast,
And vow’d he’d ask my daddy, O !
O dear, to wed me he confess’d—
The Caledonian Laddie, O.
O my bonny, bonny Highland boy !
O my bonny, bonny Highland boy !
My bonny, bonny, bonny Highland boy,
The Caledonian laddie, O.
The maidens try both far and near,
To gain young Sandy over;
But a’ their arts I dinna’ fear,
He winna prove a rover :
For sure he told me frank and free,
Unknown to mam or daddy, O
He’d marry none (ah no !) but me-—
The Caledonian laddie, O.
The other day, from Dundee fair,
He brought me home a bonnet;
A cap, and ribbons for my hair ;
But mark what soon came on it,
As late at kirk we somehow stood,
In spite of mam or daddy, O,
He married me do all I could,
The Caledonian laddie, O,
