THE

YOUNG LASSES' SONG.

can a young laſſie,

What ſhall a young laſſie,

What can a young laſſie do wi' an auld man?

Bad luck on the penny,

That tempted my minnie

To ſell her poor Jenny for filler an'lan

Bad luck, &c.

He's always compleenin'

Frae morning till e’enin',

He hoſts and he hirples the weary day lang;

He's doyl't and he's donin,

His blude it is frozen,

O! dreary's the night wi' a crazy auld man!

He hums and he hankers,

He frets and he cankers;

I never can plleaſe him, do a' that I can:

He's peeviſh and jealous

Of a' the young fellows:

O! dool on the day I met wi' an auld man!
