[00:00:00] Monymusk Lads - Ewan MacColl

[00:00:02] As I cam' in by Monymustk

[00:00:04] And doon by Alford's dale

[00:00:05] A sad misfortune happened to me

[00:00:07] And I think nae shame to tell

[00:00:09] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:10] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:00:14] As I gaed in by Monymustk

[00:00:16] The moon was shining clear;

[00:00:18] And I held on to Lethendy

[00:00:20] To see my Maggie dear

[00:00:21] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:22] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:00:26] I did gang when I did think

[00:00:28] That a' were sleepin' soun'

[00:00:30] But plague upon yon auld wife

[00:00:31] For she cam' slinkin' doon

[00:00:33] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:34] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:00:38] Sae cannily she slipped the lock

[00:00:40] And set the door agee;

[00:00:42] Then crawled upon her hands and knees

[00:00:44] To see what it could be

[00:00:45] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:47] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:00:50] Then to the bells wi' a' her micht

[00:00:52] Sae loud she made thern ring

[00:00:54] Till faith I thoeht aboot my lugs

[00:00:55] The biggin she would bring

[00:00:57] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:00:58] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:01:02] And when she saw I wouldn't need slip

[00:01:04] She ran to the guidman

[00:01:05] Says There's a lad into the hoose

[00:01:07] And that I winna stand

[00:01:09] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:01:10] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:01:13] For it is a most disgraceful thing

[00:01:15] It would provoke a saunt

[00:01:17] To see a' the servant girls wi' lads

[00:01:19] When the gentle anes maun want

[00:01:20] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:01:22] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:01:26] Providence has acted wrang

[00:01:27] Sic pleasures for to gie

[00:01:29] Tae ony servant lad or lass

[00:01:31] Just working for a fee

[00:01:32] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:01:34] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:01:38] The auld man he cam' ben himsel'

[00:01:40] And he pushed ben his heid;

[00:01:42] Guidfaith I thocht it was a ghost

[00:01:43] Just risen frae the deid

[00:01:45] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:01:46] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:01:50] He'd duddy draws upon his legs

[00:01:51] He'd on a cap o' white

[00:01:53] And he'd a face as lang's my leg

[00:01:55] And in his hand a light

[00:01:57] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:01:58] Fal to toodle I doe

[00:02:01] He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad

[00:02:03] An' pushed me oot o' doors

[00:02:05] Thinks I my auld lad I'll come back

[00:02:07] When sleepin' gars ye snore

[00:02:08] Fal to too a riddle doo

[00:02:10] Fal to toodle I doe
