Now I've often heard it said from me father and me
mother
That the going tae a wedding is the making of another
Well, if this be true, I will
go without a biddin
O kind providence, won't you send me tae a wedding
And its O
dear me, how would it be,
if I die an old maid in a garret
Well, there's my sister
Jean, she's not handsome or good looking
Scarcely sixteen and a fella she was courting
Now
at twenty-four with a son and a daughter
Here am I at forty-five and I've never had an
offer
I can cook and I can sew and I can keep the house right tidy
Rise up in the
morning and get the breakfast ready
There's nothing in this whole world would make me half so
cheery
As a wee fat man to call me his own deary
So come landsman or come pinsman, come
tinker or come tailor
Come fiddler or come dancer, come ploughboy or come sailor
Come rich
man, come poor man, come fool or come witty
Come any man at all that will marry me for
pity
Well now I'm away home for nobody's heeding
Nobody's heeding and nobody's
pleading
I'll go away to my own bitty garret
If I can't get a man, then I'll have to get a
parrot
