about

A charming Scottish love song that I first learned from Jeannie Redpath. Winter wrote the guitar part and we finish it off with a traditional tune called the Legacy Jig.

lyrics

Johnnie Laddie
(traditional, arr. Winter)

Oh how ken ye my love Johnny
He is down on yonder lee
And he's looking and he's joking and he's aye a-teasing me
He's pulling and he's teasing but his meaning's not so bad
If it's ever going to be, oh tell me now my Johnny lad

When the sheep are in the fold and the cae are in the byre
There's other lads and lasses sitting 'round a roaring fire
But for me a Glasgow lassie
Just like as I was mad
Through the nooks and barley stalks
A-jenking you my Johnny lad

Oh my Johnny's blithe and bonny
He's the pride of all the Lee
And I loved him best of any
Though he's aye a-teasing me
He teases me and squeezes me and tickles me like mad
None comes near me that can cheer me like my own Johnny lad
