Ye ken my love johnny 
He's doon in yonder lea 
He's aye teasie weasel 
And he's aye teasin' me 
But i hae a brother 
That's as good as any lad 
So if it's e'er gan tae be 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
So if it's e'er gan tae be 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
    
It was in aboot the hervest time 
The toons were in a steer 
There was plenty for ane 
And a' o' brais bread and beer 
And i looked into his eye 
    
And i modestly did say 
If it's e'er gan tae be 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
If it's e'er gan tae be 
Tell me noo johnny lad 
    
The sheep are in the fold 
And the kye are in the byre 
And a' the lads and la**ies 
Roond the rattlin' roarin' fire 
And there's me a glackit 
La**ie goin' on a i wis mad 
Roond the stooks and barn books 
Jinkin' you johnny lad 
Jinkin' you johnny lad 
Roond the stooks and barn nooks 
Jinkin' you johnny lad
