Leaboy's Lassie Lyrics

First when I came to the town
They called me young and bonny
Now they've changed my name
Called me the leaboy's honey.I'll dye my petticoats red
And I'll face them with a yellow
I'll tell the dyester lads
That the leaboys I've to follow.It's over hills and dales
And over dikes and ditches
Say will I like the lad
Who wears the moleskin breechesThe black horse draws the cart
And he's as proud as any
Say will I like the lad
That drives them on so cannyFeather beds are fine
And painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all
To jog away with johnnyOh, for saturday night
It's I that'll see my dearie
He'll come whistlin' in

When I am tired and weary.First when I came to the town
They called me proud and saucy
Now they've changed my name
Called me the leaboy's lassie.
