MY LADDIE
Oh! have you seen my laddie?
His heart is true and kind;
His cheeks are fresh and rosy,
His hair floats on the wind.
His heart is true and kind;
His cheeks are fresh and rosy,
His hair floats on the wind.
He's a brave and lightsome laddie,
On honest toil intent.
Oh! we had some words this morning,
And I don't know where he went.
On honest toil intent.
Oh! we had some words this morning,
And I don't know where he went.
You'll know if he's my laddie
By the twinkle in his e'e
When you whisper to him softly
That he may come to me.
By the twinkle in his e'e
When you whisper to him softly
That he may come to me.
