Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk What Can a Young Lassie 
What Can a Young Lassie 
cho: What can a young lassie, what shall a young lassie What can a young lassie di wi' an old man? 2x 
Bad luck on the penny that tempted my Minnie T' sell her poor Jenny f'r cellar and land 2x 
He's always complainin' fra' mornin' t' evenin' He hosts an' he harples the weary be lang 
He's doilt and he's dozin,' his blood it is frozen Oh, drear is the nicht wi' a crazy old man 
He hums and he hankers, he frets and he cankers I never can please him, do all that I can 
He's peevish and jealous of all the young fellas Oh, dool on the day I met wi' an old man My old Auntie Katie upon me taks pity I'll do my endeavor t' follow her plan 
I'll cross him and wrack him until I hear crackin' And then his old brass will by me a new pan
