I
Stepping up the green grass
Thus and thus and thus;
Will you let one of your fair maids
Come and play with us.
We will give you pots and pans,
We will give you brass;
We will give you anything
For a pretty lass.
We won't take your pots and pans,
We won't take your brass,
We won't take your "anything
For a pretty lass."
We will give you gold and silver,
We will give you pearl;
We will give you anything
For a pretty girl.
Come, my dearest Mary,
Come and play with us;
You shall have a young man
Born for your sake.
And the bells shall ring,
And the cats shall sing,
And we'll all clap hands together.
II
Sally made a pudden,
Shoo made it ower sweet;
Shoo dursn't stick a knife in 't,
Till Jack cam home at neet.
John, wilta have a bit like?
Don't say nay,
For last Monday mornin'
Was aar weddin'-day.
III
Sally Water, Sally Water,
Come sprinkle your can,
Why do you lie mournin'
All for a young man?
Come, choose o' the wisest,
Come, choose o' the best,
Come, choose o' the young men
The one you love best.
IV
Diller a dollar,
A ten o' clock scholar,
What maks you coom sae soon?
You used to coom at ten o'clock,
Bud noo you coom at noon.
