This young man all in the dark
Was looking for his own sweetheart
When his toe catched on the rail of the chair
And down came all the crockery ware
– Oh madam dear, do me excuse
For I was taken by surprise
I lost my way and I caught in your chair
And I broke my shins on your crockery ware.
Sung continuous with “My love she’s but a lassie” from the Dusty Bluebells Collection to the same air. Shields Index 95.
My Love She’s but a Lassie
