Align:    
  • Oh the pawky auld carle cam o'er the lea
  • Wi' mony guild-e'ens and guid-days tae me
  • Sayin', "Guid wife for your charity
  • Would you lodge a leal poor man?"
  • Laddie wi my tow-ro-ae
  • Well the nicht being cauld, the carle being wat
  • It's doon ayant the ingle he sat
  • My dochters shouthers he began tae clap
  • And cadgily ranted and sang
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • Between the twa was made a plot
  • They'd rise a wee afore the *****
  • And wilily they shot the lock
  • And fast to the bent they are gane
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • The aul wife gaed whaur the beggar lay
  • The strae was cauld, he was away
  • She clappit her hands cryin
  • "Waladay!
  • For some of our gear will be gane"
  • Laddie wi my tow-ro-ae
  • The servant gaed whaur the dochtor lay
  • Th sheets were cauld, she was away
  • And fast to the guid wife she gan say
  • "Shes awa wi the Gaberlunzieman"
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • "O fy gar ride and fy gar rin
  • And haste ye find these traitors again!
  • For she's be burnt and he's be slain
  • The wearyful beggarman"
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • Meanwhile farhind oot o'er the lea
  • Fu-snug in a glen where nane could see
  • The twa wi' kindly sport and glee
  • Would lo'e the hale day lang
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • Oh the lady cam riding o'er the lea,
  • Efter mony years her guidwife tae see
  • She had wedded a lord, nae begger he,
  • That had gaed as the beggarman
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
  • Well the lady came riding o'er the strand
  • Wi' fower and twenty at her command
  • She was the brawest in the land
  • And she went wi' the beggarman
  • Laddie wi' my tow-ro-ae
