I'm o doun, doun, doun
I'm a doun for lack o'Johnnie
Gine Johnnie kent I was ne weel
I'm sure he would come to me
But o gin he's forsaken me
Och hone what will come o' me
translation:
I am sad, sad, sad
I am sad for lack of Johnnie
If Johnnie knew that I was not well
I'm sure he would come to me
But in the gin-house he has forsaken me
Oh now what will become of me |
