Plooman Laddies (Traditional) Barbara Dickson, Hamish, Derek, Ian line-up.

 

Doon yonder den there’s a plooboy lad,

And some simmer’s day he’ll be a' my ain

 

Sing laddie aye, and sing laddie o,

The plooman laddies are a' the go

 

I love his teeth and I love his skin

I love the very cairt he hurls in

 

Doon yonder den I micht hae gotten a miller

But the smell o' dust would hae got me ill

 

Doon yonder den I could hae gotten a merchant

But a' his gear wasnae worth a groat

 

I see him comin frae yonder toon

Wi a' his ribbons hingin roon' an roon'

 

And noo she's gotten her plooman lad

As bare as ever he's left the ploo'
