Many a lassie, as everyone knows
All try to be married before twenty-five
So she'll agree to most any proposal
All he must be is a man and alive
I hold a dream and there's no compromisin'
I know there's one certain laddie for me
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon
And should he not then an old maid I'll be
Foolish ye may say, foolish I will stay
Waitin' for my dearie and happy am I
To hold my heart till he comes strollin' by
When he comes, my dearie, one look and I'll know
That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so
Though I live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For you see, I believe that
There's a laddie weary and wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie, me
What do you do when you're waitin' around
For your lad to come your way?
Well, when no one is lookin', you kneel on the ground
And you pray and pray and pray
But when lassies sit and have no men
Oh, how long becomes the night
But I fear the night is longer when the man's not right
Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me
Than wooin' any girlie on the bay
Dreamin' of your dearie and idlin' the day
That's how I am and how I'll ever stay
Though I live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For you see, I believe that
There's a laddie weary and wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie, me
