THERE'S NEWS, LASSES, NEWS
Chorus
The wean wants a cradle,And the cradle wants a cod,
An' I'll no gang to my bed
Until I get a nod.
I
There's news, lasses, news,Guid news I've to tell!
There's a boatfu' o' lads
Come to our town to sell!
II
‘Father,’ quo' she, ‘Mither,’ quo' she,‘Do what you can:
I'll no gang to my bed
Until I get a man!’
III
I hae as guid a craft rigAs made o' yird and stane;
And waly fa' the ley-crap
For I maun till'd again.
Chorus
The wean wants a cradle,And the cradle wants a cod,
An' I'll no gang to my bed
Until I get a nod.
