The Lassie Wha Never Says No

The Lassie Wha Never Says No

O I cam tae a cross and I met a wee lass
Says I ma wee lass are ye willing to go
Tae tak (?)? She said, Sir I will
For I'm the wee lassie wha never says No

It's into an alehouse together we went
We never did rise till the cock he did crow
And it's glass after glass did merrily toast
To the bonnie wee lassie wha never says No

The landlady opened the door and she gied us a smile
She's lifted a chair wi freedom in air
Sayin here's to the lad that can jug it in style
(Wi the bonnie wee lassie wha never says no)

O bring him a bottle of liquor, she said
To brighten his spirits I did fear low
And it's na what ye'll dae wi yer bottle or twa
To the bonnie wee lassie wha never says No

The drink they took in was a gin o the best
But for (?) mysel being sober to be
And it's glass after glass did merrily toast
The landlady she got trodden sich fu

Look into my pocket O lassie, she said
You owe two and six to pay for your bed
And for layin me doon you owe me a crown
Look into my pocket O lassie, she said

I looked into her pocket (?)
Says I to myself I'll bundle and go
And I bade her goodbye but she made no reply
Dint the bonnie wee lassie wha never says No
