whistle, and ill come to you, my lad（1/1）

whistle, and i'lle to you, my lad

chorus.—o whistle, an' i'lle to ye, my lad,

o whistle, an' i'lle to ye, my lad,

tho' father an' mother an' a' should gae mad,

o whistle, an' i'lle to ye, my lad.

but warily tent when yee to court me,

ande nae unless the back-yett be a-jee;

syne up the back-stile, and let naebody see,

ande as ye were nain' to me,

ande as ye were nain' to me.

o whistle an' i'lle, &c.

at kirk, or at market, whene'er ye meet me,

gang by me as tho' that ye car'd na a flie;

but steal me a blink o' your bonie black e'e,

yet look as ye were na lookin' to me,

yet look as ye were na lookin' to me.

o whistle an' i'lle, &c.

aye vow and protest that ye care na for me,

and whiles ye may lightly my beauty a-wee;

but court na anither, tho' jokin' ye be,

for fear that she wile your fancy frae me,

for fear that she wile your fancy frae me.

o whistle an' i'lle, &c.
