traditional – when maggie gangs away lyrics

[chorus]
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
there’s no a heart in all this land that does nae dread the day
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away

[verse 1]
young jock has ta’en the hill for it, a waeful white is he
poor harry’s ta’en the bed for it and laid him down tae die
and sandy’s gaen intae the kirk and learnin’ fast tae pray
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
[chorus]
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
there’s no a heart in all this land that does nae dread the day
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away

[verse 2]
the young laird o’ the langshaw has drunk her health in wine
the priest has said in confidence the lassie was divine
and that is mair in maiden’s praise than any priest should say
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away

[verse 3]
the wailin’ in our green glen that day will quaver high
will draw the redbreast frae the wood, the laverock frae the sky
the faeries frae their beds of dew will rise and join the lay
oh what will all the lads do when maggie gangs away
