Waitin' for My Dearie
Brigadoon

Many a lassie as everyone knows'll

Try to be married before twenty five

So she'll agree to most any proposal

All he mus' be is a man an' alive


I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'

I know there's one certain laddie for me

One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon

But should he not, then an old maid I'll be


Foolish, ye may say

Foolish I will stay

Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I

To hold my heart till he comes strollin' by


When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know

That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve


For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe

That there's a laddie weary and wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!


What do ye do while ye're waitin' around

For your lad to come your way?



Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground

An' ye pray an' pray an' pray


But when lassies sit an' have no men

Oh, how long becomes the night


But I fear the night is longer

When the lad's no' right

Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me

Than wooin' any laddie on the lea


Dreamin' of your dearie an' idlin' the day


That's how I am

An' how I'll ever stay

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve


For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe


That there's a laddie weary an' wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!
