|
I wonder what ye mean |
|
Tae lie sae lang in the morning |
|
And sit sae late at e'en |
|
Ye'll bleer oot a' your e'en john |
|
And why do you do so? |
|
Come sooner tae your bed at e'en |
|
John anderson my jo |
|
John anderson my jo john |
|
When you at first began |
|
You had as good a tail tree |
|
As ony ither man |
|
But noo it's wax and wan john |
|
And wrinkles to and fro |
|
And it syne requires my helping hand |
|
John anderson my jo |
|
John anderson my jo john |
|
Ye're welcome when you please |
|
Oh it's either in the warm bed |
|
Or else abin the claes |
|
And ye shall tak' the horns john |
|
Upon your head to grow |
|
Aye and that's the cuckold's mallison |
|
John anderson my jo |
