The tannahill weavers

The brewer laddie

The tannahill weavers
Noo in Perth there lived a bonnie lad, a brewer tae his trade-o
And he has courted Peggy Roy, a young and handsome maid-o
He's courted her for seven years, a' for tae gain her favour
There came a lad oot Glesca toon wha' swore that he wad hae her

Chorus:
And will ye come alang wi' me and will ye be my honey
And will ye come alang wi' me and leave your brewer laddie
They've rambled up they've rambled doon, they've rambled through Kirkcaldy
And monies the nicht she's rued the day she left her brewer laddie

The brewer lad cam' hame at een enquiring for his honey
Her faither he made this reply, She's no been here since Sunday
If that be so then let her go and I will never grieve her
I'm a lad that's free as you can see, a sma' thing will relieve her

Chorus

There's just as guid fish in the sea as ever yet was taken
I'll cast my line and try again you're only once forsaken
The Glesca fellah's up and gane, the country he has fled-o
He's left nae sark upon her back nor blanket on her bed-o

Chorus

The brewer lad still lives in Perth and there he brews guid ale-o
And he has found another lass and taen her tae his bed-o
Ye lovers a' where e'er ye be just let this be fair warnin'
Never slight your ain true love for fear ye get a' waur ane

Chorus
