BOY JOHNNY.
“If you'll busk you as a bride
And make ready,
It's I will wed you with a ring,
O fair lady.”
And make ready,
It's I will wed you with a ring,
O fair lady.”
“Shall I busk me as a bride,
I so bonny,
For you to wed me with a ring,
O boy Johnny?”
I so bonny,
For you to wed me with a ring,
O boy Johnny?”
“When you've busked you as a bride
And made ready,
Who else is there to marry you,
O fair lady?”
And made ready,
Who else is there to marry you,
O fair lady?”
“I will find my lover out,
I so bonny,
And you shall bear my wedding-train,
O boy Johnny.”
I so bonny,
And you shall bear my wedding-train,
O boy Johnny.”
