The Corries - Ettrick Lady lyrics

As I gang doon the Etrick Highway at the hour o' 12 at night; What should I spy but a handsome las-sie, combin' her hair by candlelight. First she combed it, then she brushed it; Tied it up wi' a velvet band; Ne'er hae I seen such a handsome la**ie All up an' doon ov'r all Scotland! Chorus: Fallah-tallah rhu-dhumma, rhu-dhum, rhu-u-dhum; Fallah-tallah rhu-dhumma, rhu-dhum-day! (2X) La**ie, I hae come a-courting, your kind favors for to win; And if you'd but smile upon me, next Sunday night I'll call again. So to me you came a-courting, my kind favors for to win; But 'twould give me the greatest pleasure if you never would call again! What would I do, when I go walking, walking out in the Ettrick view; What would I do when I go walking, walkin' oot wi' a laddie like you? - Cho. - La**ie, I hae gold and silver, la**ie I hae houses and land La**ie, I hae ships on the ocean, they'll a' be at you'r command. What do I care for your gold and silver, What do I care for your houses and land? What do I care for your ships on the ocean?; When all I want is a handsome man! - Cho. - Did you ever see the gra** in the morning, all bedecked with j**els rare? Did you ever see a handsome la**ie, diamonds sparkling in her hair? Did you ever see a copper kettle, mended up wi' an old tin can? Did you ever see a handsome la**ie married up tae an ugly man?
