Текст песни A Braw Wooer - Ewan MacColl
Last
May,
a
braw
wooer
cam
doun
the
lang
glen,
And
sair
wi′
his
love
he
did
deave
me;
I
said,
there
was
naething
I
hated
like
men-
The
deuce
gae
wi'm,
to
believe
me,
believe
me;
The
deuce
gae
wi′m
to
believe
me.
He
spak
o'
the
darts
in
my
bonie
black
e'en,
And
vow′d
for
my
love
he
was
diein,
I
said,
he
might
die
when
he
liked
for
Jean-
The
Lord
forgie
me
for
liein,
for
liein;
The
Lord
forgie
me
for
liein!
A
weel-stocked
mailen,
himsel′
for
the
laird,
And
marriage
aff-hand,
were
his
proffers;
I
never
loot
on
that
I
kenn'd
it,
or
car′d;
But
thought
I
might
hae
waur
offers,
waur
offers;
But
thought
I
might
hae
waur
offers.
But
what
wad
ye
think?-in
a
fortnight
or
less-
The
deil
tak
his
taste
to
gae
near
her!
He
up
the
Gate-slack
to
my
black
cousin,
Bess-
Guess
ye
how,
the
jad!
I
could
bear
her,
could
bear
her;
Guess
ye
how,
the
jad!
I
could
bear
her.
But
a'
the
niest
week,
as
I
petted
wi′
care,
I
gaed
to
the
tryst
o'
Dalgarnock;
But
wha
but
my
fine
fickle
wooer
was
there,
I
glowr′d
as
I'd
seen
a
warlock,
a
warlock,
I
glowr'd
as
I′d
seen
a
warlock.
But
owre
my
left
shouther
I
gae
him
a
blink,
Lest
neibours
might
say
I
was
saucy;
My
wooer
he
caper′d
as
he'd
been
in
drink,
And
vow′d
I
was
his
dear
lassie,
dear
lassie,
And
vow'd
I
was
his
dear
lassie.
I
spier′d
for
my
cousin
fu'
couthy
and
sweet,
Gin
she
had
recover′d
her
hearin',
And
how
her
new
shoon
fit
her
auld
schachl't
feet,
But
heavens!
how
he
fell
a
swearin,
a
swearin,
But
heavens!
how
he
fell
a
swearin.
He
begged,
for
gudesake,
I
wad
be
his
wife,
Or
else
I
wad
kill
him
wi′
sorrow;
So
e′en
to
preserve
the
poor
body
in
life,
I
think
I
maun
wed
him
to-morrow,
to-morrow;
I
think
I
maun
wed
him
to-morrow.
