Monymusk Lads
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
As I cam in by Monymusk
F
And doon by Alford's dale
Am
A sad misfortune happened to me
F G
And I think nae shame to tell
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 2]
Am
As I gaed in by Monymusk
F
The moon was shining clear
Am
And I held on to Lethendy
F G
To see my Maggie dear
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 3]
Am
I did gang when I did think
F
That a' were sleepin' soun'
Am
But plague upon yon auld wife
F G
For she cam' slinkin' doon
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 4]
Am
Sae cannily she slipped the lock
F
And set the door agee
Am
Then crawled upon her hands and knees
F G
To see what it could be
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 5]
Am
Then to the bells wi' a' her micht
F
Sae loud she made them ring
Am
'Til faith, I thocht aboot my lugs
F G
The biggin she would bring
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 6]
Am
And when she saw I wouldnae slip
F
She ran to her guid man
Am
Says, "There's a lad into the hoose
F G
And this I winna stand
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 7]
Am
For it's a most disgraceful thing
F
It would provoke a saunt
Am
To see the servant girls wi' lads
F G
When the gentle anes maun want
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 8]
Am
Providence has acted wrang
F
Sic pleasures for to gie
Am
Tae ony servant lad or lass
F G
Just working for a fee"
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 9]
Am
The auld man, he cam ben himself
F
And he pushed ben his heid
Am
Guid faith, I thocht it was a ghost
F G
Just risen frae the deid
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 10]
Am
He'd duddy drawers upon his legs
F
He'd on a cap o' white
Am
And he'd a face as lang's my leg
F G
And in his hand a light
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 11]
Am
He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad
F
And pushed me out o' doors
Am
Thinks I, my auld lad, I'll come back
F G
When sleepin' gars ye snore
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
Am D Am
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
