Jumpin' John (Original Mix)

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
