Jumpin' John (Original Mix) Lyrics
Jumpin' John (Original Mix) - Ewan MacColl
Her daddie forbad her minnie forbad;
Forbidden she wadna be:
She wadna trow't the browst she brew'd
Wad taste sae bitterlie
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie Lassie
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie Lassie
A cow and a cauf a yowe and a hauf
And thretty guid shillins and three:
A vera guid tocher a cotter-man's dochter
The lass with the bonie black e'e
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie Lassie
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguil'd the bonie Lassie
