Broomielaw

[Verse 1]
As I went out on a summer's morning
As I went down by the Broomielaw
It was there I met with a Glasgow woman
Her cheeks like roses and her skin like snow

[Verse 2]
Lassie lassie, why do you wander?
All alone by the Broomielaw
Sailor sailor, the truth I'll tell you
I've a lad of me own and he's far awa

[Verse 3]
It's seven long years since I loved that sailor
It's seven long years since he sailed awa
And another seven I'll wait upon him
And I'll bleach my clothes in the Broomielaw

[Verse 4]
Oh lassie lassie, you have been faithful
You've been true to me while I've been awa
Two hearts like ours, they shuold ne'er be parted
I'll sail no more down the Broomielaw

[Verse 5]
And then this couple, they have been married
Now they keep an alehouse, atween them twa
And the sailor laddies, they still come callin'
On the bleacher lassie o' Kelvinhaugh
