The Stuttering Lovers

A wee bit over the lee me' lads

A wee bit over the green

The birds went into the poor man's corn

I fear they'll never be

S... S... Seen me lads

I fear they'll never be seen.

Then up came a bonnie wee lass

And she was one so fair

And she went into the poor man's corn to

See if the birds were

Th... Th... There me lads

To see if the birds were there.

Then up came a bonnie wee lad

And he was a fisherman's son.

And he went into the poor man's corn to

See where the birds had

Ru... Ru.Run me lads

To see where the birds had run

And he kissed her on the cheek, m' lad

And he kissed her on the chin

Ah... don't be kissing me, my wee lad

I fear it t'is

S... S... Sin me lad

I fear it t'is a sin

He kissed her once

And he kissed her twice

He kissed her ten times 'ore

IT'S nice to be kissing a bonnie wee lass

Who's never been kissed

B... B... Before me lads

Who's never been kissed before.

Then out came a poor old man

And he was tattered and torn.

IF, THAT's the way you'll be mindin' me birds

I'll do it me'self in the

M... M... M... M... Morn me lads

I'll do it m'self in the morn.
