lyrics

Hum dum dum derry day,
Hum dum dum derry daddy,
Hum dum dum derry day,
for he's a bonny laddie .

First when I came to the town,
they called me young and bonny.
Now they've changed my name,
called me the Licht Bob's honey.

Next when I came to this place,
they called me young and saucy.
Now they've changed my name,
called me the Licht Bob's lassie.

(chorus)

I'll dye my petticoats red,
and face them with the yellow
I'll tell the dyster's lad,
that the Licht Bobs I'm to follow.

Some call my true love black,
and some say he's nay bonny.
But to me he's the flower of them all,
though his father had never sae money.

(chorus)

It's over hills and dales,
and over dykes and ditches
And sae weel's I like the lad
that wears the moleskin britches.

The black horse draws the cart,
and the blue one follows sae bonny.
And sae weel's I like the lad
that drives them on sae canny.

(chorus)

Feather beds are soft,
and painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all,
and steal away with Johnny.

Oh for Saturday night,
I'm sure I'll see my dearie,
He'll come wanderin' in,
while I am tired and weary.

(chorus)
