He's always complainin frae mornin till evenin

He hoasts and he hirples the weary day lang

He's doylt an he's dosin his blood it is frozen

Oh dreary's the night wi a crazy auld man

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie dae wi an auld man

He hums and he hankers he frets and he cankers

I never can please him dae aa that I can

He's peevish an jealous o aa the young fellows

Oh do long the di aa magic we are noman

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie dae wi an auld man

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie dae wi an auld man

My auld auntie Kitty upon me taks pity

I'll dae my endeavour tae follow her plan

I'll cross him an wrack him until I hairt-brak him

And then his auld brass will buy me a new pan

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie dae wi an auld man

What can a young lassie what shall a young lassie

What can a young lassie dae wi an auld man
