I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll fill yer can
I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
For surely I'm an honest man
As I gaed oot ae December evening
By the watter and the pleasant sand
As I was walking, I could hear them talking
Saying, "Surely he is an honest man"
Chorus:
Lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
Lay ye doon, love, I'll fill yer can
Lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
For surely I'm an honest man
I hae traivelled far fae Invery
And doon as far as Edinburgh toon
But I maun go and travel farther
When I return I'll lay ye doon
(Chorus)
I will leave soon, but I'll return
To you, my love, I'll tak yer hand
Then no more I'll roam from you, love
No more to walk on foreign sand
(Chorus)
