Ladies’ Evening Song Songtext
von The McCalmans

Oh, the glass is no′ for you, bonnie laddie-o
The glass is no' for you, bonnie laddie-o
The glass is no′ for you
For it dyes your manly brow
And it fills you roarin' fu', bonnie laddie-o


Then drive us not away wi′ your drinkin′-o
We like your presence mair than you're thinkin′-o
How happy will you be
In our blithesome company
Taking innocence and glee for your drinking-o

Now your e'en are glancing bright, bonnie laddie-o
Wi′ a pure and joyful light, bonnie laddie-o
But at ten o'clock at night
Tak′ a lady's word in plight
We will see anither sight, bonnie laddie-o


There's a right path and a wrong, bonnie laddie-o
Oh, you needna argue lang, bonnie laddie-o
For the mair you taste and see
O′ our harmless companye
Aye the happier you′ll be, bonnie laddie-o
