Did you ever see a lassie,
A lassie, a lassie?
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that?
Go this way and that way,
Go this way and that way.
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that?
Did you ever see a laddie,
A laddie, a laddie?
Did you ever see a laddie
Go this way and that?
Go this way and that way,
Go this way and that way.
Did you ever see a laddie
Go this way and that?
