Lish Young Buy-a-broom
As I went a-walking in the North Country, Down by Kirby Steven I happened for to be, As I was a-walking up and down the street, A pretty little buy-a-broom I chanced to meet.
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.
She kindly then invited me to go a little way, Yes was the answer to her I did say, There was me with my music walkin' down the street, And her with her tambourine was beatin' hand and feet.
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.
Straight way out for Kendal town we steered her and I, Over you green mountain the weather being dry, We each had a bottle filled up to the top And whenever we were feeling dry we took a little drop.
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.

For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.
Early the next morning we arose to go our way, I called for the landlord to see what was to pay, Fourteen and sixpence just for two, Four crowns upon the table my darling then she threw. For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.
Well the reason that we parted I now shall let you hear, She started off for Germany right early the next year, But me being unwilling to cross the raging sea, Here's a health unto my bonny lass wherever she may be.
For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way, It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.
