I
would do the same for you.

I've
just come here the nicht to ask ye for yeer sympathy.
The
only lass I ever had frae me has gone away.
It
happen'd o'er a quarrel that we had last Sunday nicht.
She
said I was in the wrong, but I said I was in the richt.
My
heart is nearly broken, sometimes I think I'll choke
When
I think about the promises she made.
She
told me once sincerely that she lov'd me, oh so dearly,
So
I've written her a letter and I've said.
Chorus
"Come
back, Nanny, to your simple Sammy!
Nanny,
dinna, say ye'll leave me noo!
Come
back Nanny, dinna say ye canna,
'Cause
I never lov'd anither lass but you.
Verse 2
I
really don't know what to do, I've such a burnin' pain,
Burnin'
like a poultice in below my watch and chain.
I
really did look forward to lead such a happy life,
But
that can never be unless she says she'll be my wife.
We
used to go for long walks nearly ev'ry other nicht,
We
used to wander down the lovers' lane;
It
was such a time o' bliss, I did nothing else but kiss,
I'll
never kiss another lass again.
Spoken:
I'll
do something desperate. I'll difigure myself for life. I know what I'll
do, grow
a whisker
and cut my hair; If I were to blame I'd give in; but
I'm not to blame. I know
who's
to blame. I know. It's her mither. She's the one.
Mind ye, her mither is a nice woman to
look
at quick. Then ye have to run for your life. If there's a bad
place to go when ye die, her
mither
will go there. I'm the first sweetheart Nanny ever had, and
I believe she is only doing this
quarreling
to my sincerity. And I believe she is here the nicht, listening
if I'm saying anything
about
her. (Bussiness; looks around the audience says he sees her
and sings to her-chorus)
