Doon in yonder den there's a plooboy lad
An' summers day he'll be a' my ane
Chorus:
And sing laddie aye, and sing laddie oh
The plooboy laddies are a' the go
I will hae nae miller wi' his dusty coat
The merchant's gear isnae worth a groat
Chorus
I love him weel, I love nane but him
I love the very cairt he hurls in
Chorus
And when I think of my plooboy's smile
It's in his arms I would bide a while
Chorus
I see him coming in frae yonder toon
Wi' a' his ribbons hingin' roon an' roon
Chorus
