Lyrics
Ye comrades and companions
And all ye females dear
To my sad lamentations
I pray you lend an ear
There was once I lo'ed a bonnie lass
I lo'ed her as my life
And it was my whole intention
To make her my wedded wife
I courted with a bonnie lass
A twelve months and a day
Sometimes among the green grass
Sometimes among the hay
I courted her the leelang night
And part of the next day
Till she says "My dearest Sandy lad
It's time you were away"
Now say my dearest Molly
When shall we set a time
When you and I will get married
And hands together join
And we'll sit in our wee cottage
And you'll neither spin nor sew
While my ain gude-hearted hireman lad
Goes whistling at the plow
There's Cadum and Cadummills
And Luthermills likewise
There's woods and waters many more
Pleasant to mine eyes
But the bonnie woods o' Hatton
They a'grow green in may
It was there about the lassie lived
That stole my heart away
I'll mind yon bonnie lass
When I am far awa
I'll speak about yon bonnie lass
To them she never saw
And tell them that I lo'ed her well
But to me she proved untrue
And she left me doon by Hatton Woods
My follys for to rue
But blessings on yon bonnie lass
Wherever she may be
I wish no evil unto her
Although she slighted me
I only wish that she may say
Some day before she die
"I wish I had married young hireman lad
That sang so sweet to me"
