My Laddie Sits Ower Late Up

My laddie sits ower late up

My hinny sits ower late up

My dearie sits ower late up

Betwixt the pint pot and the cup

Hey Johnny, come hame to your bairn

Hey Johnny, come hame to your bairn

Hey Johnny, come hame to your bairn

With a rye loaf under your airm

He addles three-ha'pence a week

That's nobbut a farthing a day

He sits with his pipe in his cheek

And fiddles his money away

My laddie is never the near

My hinny is never the near

And when I cry out, "Laddie, cum hame"

He calls oot again for mair beer

My laddie sits ower late up...

Hey Johnny...
