| Lyrics: | I'LL LAY YE DOON, LOVE
O I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
I'll lay
ye doon, love, I'll fill your can
O I'll lay ye doon, love, I'll treat ye decent
For
surely he is an honest man
As I walked oot on a summer evenin'
Doon by the water and
the pleasant strand
And as I was walkin, I heard them talkin'
Sayin', Surely he is an
honest man
I hae traveled far frae Inverney
Aye, and doon as far as Edinburgh
toon
And it's I maun gae, love, and travel further
But when I come back, I will lay ye
doon
I maun leave ye noo, love, but I'll return
Tae ye my love and I'll tak' your
hand,
Then no more I'll roam frae ye my love
Nae mair tae walk on a foreign
strand.
