Mount and Go Songtext
von The McCalmans

My father married me when I was young
To an old cow both bald and dumb
My love was done and my mind was sprung
And I flew to the hills with my laddie-o
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I′ll gang wi' ye-o
I will leave my good peat stack
And so will I my old kail yard
And so will I my old bald laird
And I′ll fly to the hills wi' my laddie-o
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
When the old cow lay asleep
Out of the bed she did creep
The keys of the cabin she did keep
She′s gone to the hills with her laddie-o


Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
When the old cow awoke in the hall
Where the sheets were cold and she was awa'
With the weight of herself in gold and all
She′s gone to the hills with her laddie-o
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
He's gone down to yon sea shore
He's speared at the ship that was there before
He′s asked of the captain if she′s been there
Or if any of the sailors saw her roe
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
When she sailed out o'er yon lee
She drank her toast quite merrily
She flung the wine glass into the sea
For the love that she′d found with her laddie-o
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
When she's landed o'er yon lee
She′s the lady of fifty ploughs and three
She′s the lady of fifty ploughs and three
And well she loves her laddie-o
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount and I'll gang wi′ ye-o
