I'll Lay Ye Doon Love
I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll fill your can
I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
For surely he is an honest man
As I walked oot on a simmer evening
Doon by the water and the pleasant sand
And as I was walking, sure I could hear them talking
Saying surely he is an honest man
I'll lay ye doon ...
I hae traivelled faur frae Inverey
Aye and as faur as Edinburgh toon
But it's I must gae, love, and travel further
And when I return I will lay ye doon
I'll lay ye doon ...
I maun leave ye noo, love, but I'll return
Tae ye my love, and I'll tak' your hand
Then no more I'll ram frae ye my love
No more tae walk on the foreign sand
I'll lay ye doon ...
