The Dubliners - Ploughboy Lads lyrics

When she was only sixteen years A beauty she was wearing Ah little, little did she think That she'd be soon a-grievin' oh oh Chorus: For the ploughboys lads are gay braw lads They'll court you and deceive you Oh they'll take all and they'll gang awa' And leave the la**es grievin' oh oh If she'd stayed home when she was told And done her mammy's bidden oh She'd not be sitting by yon fireside Singin' hush abye my baby, oh oh Hush a-bye, she's your ma But the Lord knows who's your daddy oh So maids take care and ye beware Of the young Man in the gloamin' oh oh
