I'll Lay Ye Doun Songtext

One morning early as I roved out Between the water and the pleasant sand As I was walking, I heard them talking Saying, "Surely he is a sorried man" I will lay ye doun, love, I'll treat ye decent I will lay ye doun, love, and I'll fill your can I will lay ye doun, love, I'll treat ye decent For surely here is a sorried man I hae traivelled far frae Inveray Aye, and as far as Edinburgh toun But I maun gae an traivel further But when I return, love, I'll lay ye doun I maun leave ye nou but I'll return Tae you my love and I'll take your hand And no more I'll roam from you my love No more to roam on the foreign strand
