Lyrics

I'm a' doun, doun, doun,

I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie;

I'm a' doun, doun, doun,

I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie.

Gin Johnnie kent I was na weel,

I'm sure he would come to me;

But o, gin he's forsaken me,

Och hone! what will come o' me!

I'm a' doun, doun, doun,

I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie;

I'm a' doun, doun, doun,

I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie.

I sit upon an auld feal sunk,

I spin and greet for Johnnie;

But gin he's gi'en me the begunk,

Och hone! What will come o' me!

Gin Johnnie kent: if Johnnie knew

Och hone: alas

auld feal sunk: old turf-seat

greet: weep

gi'en me the begunk: jilted me
