• (When I Was No But) Sweet Sixteen (Ragged Kingdom, 2011)

When I was noo but sweet sixteen
With beauty just a-blooming o,
It's little, little did I think
At nineteen I'de be greeting o.

Chorus (after each verse):
For the ploughboy lads they're gey braw lads
But they're false and they're deceiving o:
For they'll take your all and they'll gang awa
And leave their lasses grieving o.
O I was fond of company
And gave the ploughboys freedom o
To kiss and clap me in the dark
When all my friends were sleeping o.

But if I had kent that I now ken
And taken my mother's bidding o
I wouldn't be sitting by our fireside
Crying hushabye by bairnie o.

It's hushaba for I'm your ma
But the Lord knows who's your daddy o.
So it's girls take care and you beware
Of the ploughboys in the gloamoing o.

greeting: weeping;
gey: very;
braw: handsome;
clap: touch;
ken: know;
bairnie: baby;
gloaming: dusk
