Pad the Road Wi Me Songtext

von Malinky

Says I, "My dearest Molly, come let us fix the time
Fan ye and I will mairried be and wedlock us combine
Fan ye and I get mairried, love, richt happy we will be
For ye are the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' me"

"Tae pad the road wi' you, sir, cauld winter's comin' on
Besides, my aged parents have ne'er a girl but one
Besides, my aged parents have ne'er a girl but me
So I'm no' the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' thee"

"Oh never mind cauld winter, love, the spring will follow on
Come sit ye doon beside me, and I'll sing you a nice song
I'll sing you a nice song while I diddle ye on ma knee
For you're the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' me"

"Oh the ither lads that I hae had, they proved of cruel mind
They beat me and bad used me and proved tae be unkind
They beat me and bad used me and garred me rue the day
That e'er I gied my love tae them tae pad the road away"

"Oh lassie, dearest lassie, love, I'd never dae ye wrang
It's on my honest faither's life I swear I'll dae nae hairm
I'll busk ye braw and fairer so ye could bear the gree
As the belle o' a' the country 'roond tae pad the road wi' me"

So she has donned her hose and shoon and tae the kirk they've gaen
And lang, ay lang 'ere mornin' that couple were made ane
And lang, lang 'ere the mornin', her troubles were set free
For she's the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' me
For she's the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' me
She's the bonnie lassie that's tae pad the road wi' me
