HER daddie forbad, her minnie forbad
Forbidden she wadna be:
She wadna trowt the browst she brewd,
Wad taste sae bitterlie.
Chorus.The lang lad they caJumpin John
Beguild the bonie lassie,
The lang lad they caJumpin John
Beguild the bonie lassie.
A cow and a cauf, a yowe and a hauf,
And thretty gude shillins and three;
A vera gude tocher, a cotter-mans dochter,
The lass wi the bonie black ee.
The lang lad, &c.
