shirley jones - waitin' for my dearie lyrics

Loading...

[fiona]
many a lassie as everyone knows’ll
try to be married before twenty+five
so she’ll agree to most any proposal
all he must be is a man and alive

i hold a dream and there’s no compromisin’
i know there’s one certain laddie for me
one day he’ll come walkin’ o’er the horizon
but should he not, then an old maid i’ll be
foolish ye may say
foolish i will stay

waitin’ for my dearie
and happy am i
to hold my heart till he comes strollin’ by

when he comes, my dearie
onе look and i’ll know
that he’s the deariе i’ve been wantin’ so

though i’ll live forty lives
till the day he arrives
i’ll not ever, ever grieve
for my hopes will be high
that he’ll come strollin’ by
for ye see, i believe
that there’s a laddie weary
and wanderin’ free
who’s waitin’ for his dearie: me

[woman 1]
what do ye do while ye’re waitin’ around
for your lad to come your way?

[fiona]
well, when no one is lookin’, ye kneel on the ground
and ye pray and pray and pray

[woman 2]
but when lassies sit and have no men
oh, how long becomes the night

[fiona]
but i fear the night is longer when
the lad’s not right

waitin’ for my dearie
is sweeter to me
than wooin’ any laddie on the lea

[women]
mmm
dreamin’ of your dearie, and idlin’ the day
[fiona]
that’s how i am and how i’ll ever stay
though i’ll live forty lives
till the day he arrives

[fiona & women]
i’ll not ever, ever grieve

[fiona]
for my hopes will be high
that he’ll come strollin’ by
for ye see

[women]
we see

[fiona]
i believe

[women]
ye believe

[fiona & women]
that there’s a laddie weary
and wanderin’ free
who’s waitin’ for his dearie
[fiona]
me
