HER DADDIE FORBAD.
TUNE—'JUMPIN' JOHN.'
Her daddie forbad, her minnie forbad;Forbidden she wadna be:She wadna trow't, the browst she brew'dWad taste sae bitterlie.The lang lad they ca' Jumpin' JohnBeguiled the bonie lassie,The lang lad they ca' Jumpin' JohnBeguiled the bonie lassie.
A cow and a cauf, a yowe and a hauf,And thretty gude shillin's and three;A vera gude tocher, a cotter-man's dochter,The lass with the bonie black e'e.The lang lad they ca' Jumpin' JohnBeguiled the bonie lassie,The lang lad they ca' Jumpin' JohnBeguiled the bonie lassie.
