The Rovin Ploughboy

Come saddle tae me, my auld gray mare

Come saddle tae me, my pony O

I'm on the road and I'm goin' far awa'

Awa' wi' the rovin' plowboy-O

Chorus (after each verse):

Plowboy-O, plowboy-O

I'll follow the rovin' plowboy-O

Last night I lay in a fine feather bed

Sheets and blankets sae cozy O

The night I maun lie in a cauld barn shed

Rowed in the arms o' my plowboy-O

Champion plowboy, my Geordie lad

Cups and medals and prizes O

In bonnie Deveronside there's nane can compare

Wi' my jolly rovin' plowboy-O

Fare ye weel tae auld Huntly toon

And fareweel tae Drumdelgie O

I'm on the road and I'm goin' far awa'

Awa' wi' the rovin' plowboy-O

(Chorus...)
