Jumpin John
Her Daddie forbad, her Minnie forbad;
Forbidden she wadna be:
She wadna trow't, the browst she brew'd
Wad taste sae bitterlie.
Chorus
The lang lad they ca' jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie lassie,
The lang lad they ca' jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie lassie.
A cow and a cauf, a yowe and a hauf,
And thretty gude shillins and three;
A vera gude tocher, a cotter-man's dochter,
The lass wi' the bonie black e'e.
Forbidden she wadna be:
She wadna trow't, the browst she brew'd
Wad taste sae bitterlie.
Chorus
The lang lad they ca' jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie lassie,
The lang lad they ca' jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie lassie.
A cow and a cauf, a yowe and a hauf,
And thretty gude shillins and three;
A vera gude tocher, a cotter-man's dochter,
The lass wi' the bonie black e'e.
