Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been
Gin your voice I hadna kent
I could na eithly trow my een
Sae weel's ye micht hae tousled me
And sweetly prie'd my mou bedeen
Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been

My faither he was at the pleugh
My mither she was at the mill
My Billy he was at the moss
And no ane near our sport tae spill
The feint a body was therein
There was nae fear of being seen
Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been

Wad ony lad who lo'ed her weel
Hae left his bonnie lass her lane
Tae sigh and greet ilk langsome hoor
And think her sweetest minutes gane
O had ye been a wooer leal
We should hae met wi hairts mair keen
Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been

But I maun hae anither jo
Whase love gangs never oot o' mind
And winna let the moment pass
When tae a lass he can be kind
Then gang your wa's to blinken Bess
Nae mair for Johnie shall she green
Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been

Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been
Gin your voice I hadna kent
I could na eithly trow my een
Sae weel's ye micht hae tousled me
And sweetly prie'd my mou bedeen
Hey how my Johnie lad
Ye're no sae kind's ye should hae been
