The Ploughman Lyrics by Jean Redpath

The Songs of Robert Burns, Volume 3 & 4

0

The Ploughman he's a bony lad
His mind is ever true, jo
His garters knit below his knee
His bonnet it is blue, jo
Ch. Then up wi't a', my Ploughman lad
And hey, my merry Ploughman;
Of a'the trades that I do ken
Commend me to the Ploughman
My Ploughman he comes hame at e'en
He's aften wat and weary:
Cast off the wat, put on the dry
And gae to bed, my Dearie
I will wash my Ploughman's hose
And I will dress his o'erlay;
I will mak my Ploughman'g bed
And cheer him late and early
I hae been east, I hae been west
I hae been at Saint Johnston
The boniest sight that e'er I saw
Was th' Ploughman laddie dancin
Snaw-white stocking on his legs
And siller buckles glancin;
A gude blue bannet on his head
And O but he was handsome!
Commend me to the Barn yard
And the Corn-mou, man;
I never gat my Coggie fou
Till I met wi' the Ploughman
