Jumpin'John
(Robert Burns)

Her daddie forbad, her minnie forbad;
  Forbidden she wadna be:
She wadna trow't, the browst she brew'd
   Wad taste sae bitterlie!

cho: 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 guid shillins and three:
A vera guid tocher, a cotter-man's dochter,
  The lass with the bonie black e'e.

tune: Jumpin John (199)
