Haud Your Tongue Dear Sally

Oh, hold your tongue, dear Sally, as i gang tae the town

And I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown

I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown

And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow your jaunting car"

"Oh, the de'il gang wi' your lap dog, you jaunting cars and all

For I'd rather hae a young man tae row me fae the wall

Oh I'd rather hae a young man wi' no a penny at all

Before that I'd hae an old man tae row me fae the wall

"For your pipes they're never in order, your chanter's no in tune

And I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae

your room

I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae

your room

For I'd rather have a young man wi' no penny at all"

And now the old man's dead and gone, but he's left her a gey fee

He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae

free

He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae

free

And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow her jaunting car

Oh and now she's gotten her young man wi' no a penny at all

Aye now she's gotten her young man tae row her fae the wall

But he's smashed her china cups and saucers; aye he's gone and

broke them all

And he's killed her bonnie wee lap dog that followed her jaunting

car
