Haud Your Tongue Dear Sally lyrics
"Oh, hold your tongue, dear Sally, as i gang tae the town
And I ll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
I ll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow your jaunting car"
"Oh, the de il gang wi your lap dog, you jaunting cars and all
For I d rather hae a young man tae row me fae the wall
Oh I d rather hae a young man wi no a penny at all
Before that I d hae an old man tae row me fae the wall
"For your pipes they re never in order, your chanter s no in tune
And I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae
Your room
I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae
Your room
For I d rather have a young man wi no penny at all"
And now the old man s dead and gone, but he s left her a gey fee
He s left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae
Free
He s left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae
Free
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow her jaunting car
Oh and now she s gotten her young man wi no a penny at all
Aye now she s gotten her young man tae row her fae the wall
But he s smashed her china cups and saucers; aye he s gone and
Broke them all
And he s killed her bonnie wee lap dog that followed her jaunting
Car
