• Twa recruiting sergeants (scottish anti-recruitingsong)

For it's over the mountain and over the main
Through Gibralta to France and Spain
It's a feather to your bonnet, a kilt upon your knee
So list bonny laddie and come awa' wi' me

Now, twa recruting sergeants came frae the black watch
Through markets and fairs some recruits for to catch
But all that they listed was forty and twa
So list bonny laddie and come awa'

Now, laddie, you canna know the danger that you're in
If your horses was to fly and your house was to ruin
This greedy, old farmer will na' pay your fee
So list bonny laddie and come awa' wi' me

For its out by the barn and in by the fire
This old farmer thinks he'll never tire
It's a slavery job of lowly degree
Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/tommy_makem/
So list bonny laddie and come awa' wi' me

Now, laddie, if you have a sweetheart in the barn
You'll easy be rid of her ill-spun yarn
Twa rattles on the drum and that will pay it all
So list bonny laddie and come come awa'
