I'm a Doun for Lack O' Johnnie' Songtext
von Vanessa‐Mae

I′m a' doun, doun, doun,
I′m doun for lack o' Johnnie;
I'm a′ doun, doun, doun,
I′m doun for lack o' Johnnie.
Gin Johnnie kent I was na weel,
I′m sure he would come to me;
But o, gin he's forsaken me,
Och hone! what will come o′ me!


I'm a′ doun, doun, doun,
I'm doun for lack o' Johnnie;
I′m a′ doun, doun, doun,
I'm doun for lack o′ Johnnie.
I sit upon an auld feal sunk,
I spin and greet for Johnnie;
But gin he's gi′en me the begunk,
Och hone! What will come o' me!

Gin Johnnie kent: if Johnnie knew
Och hone: alas
auld feal sunk: old turf-seat
greet: weep
gi′en me the begunk: jilted me
