Johnny Laddie Songtext
von Sam Shackleton

O′ well Johnny wis a michty lad
And he came fae Stirling toon
And when he cams a rovin' by all the lasses gaither roond
Sangin′ ye my Johnny laddie
It's ye my Johnny lad
I'll dance the tartan oot yer kilt wae ye my Johnny lad
Wae his too ra laddie ay, too ra laddie o
There goes my rantin′ Johnny wae his too ra laddie o

O′ Johnny wis a rovin' man
And he roved fae toon tae toon
And he spent his nichts a drinkin′
And a-howlin' at the moon
And wae ye my Johnny laddie
Wae ye my Johnny lad
I′ll dance the tartan oot yer kilt wae ye my Johnny lad
Wae his too ra laddie ay, too ra laddie o
There goes my rantin' Johnny wae his too ra laddie o


O′ and when he cams a rovin' by he rants awa wae glee
Singin' that big hoose in London toon does nae rule ower me
Cryin′ ye my Johnny laddie
It′s ye my Johnny lad
I'll dance the tartan oot yer kilt wae ye my Johnny lad
Wae his too ra laddie ay, too ra laddie o
There goes my rantin′ Johnny wae his too ra laddie o

O' well Scotland is my nation and sae proud I am tae say
Cries the rantin′ rovin' Johnny as he roves upon his way
And wae ye my Johnny laddie
Ye my Johnny lad
I′ll dance the tartan oot yer kilt wae ye my Johnny lad
Wae his too ra laddie ay, too ra laddie o
There goes my rantin' Johnny wae his too ra laddie o

O' Johnny wis the brawest lad
And he wis a lad ae mine
And I′ve never had a better lad though I′ve had ninety-nine
And wae ye my Johnny laddie
Wae ye my Johnny lad
I'll dance the tartan oot yer kilt wae ye my Johnny lad
Wae his too ra laddie ay, too ra laddie o
There goes my rantin′ Johnny wae his too ra laddie o
