I Wish They'd Do It Now

I was born of Scottish parents one day when I was young
that's how the scottish language became my native tongue
that I was pretty baby, my mother she would vow
the girls all ran to kiss me, well I wish they'd do it now

Oh, I wish they'd do it now, Oh, I wish they'd do it now
the girls all ran to kiss me, well I wish they'd do it now

Well I wasonly six months old, the girls would handle me
they'd clutch me to their bosoms and they'd bounce me on their knees
They'd would rock me in the cradle and if I make a row
they'd tickle me, and cuddle me, I wish tey'd do it now

Oh, I wish they'd do it now, Oh, I wish they'd do it now
they'd tickle me, and cuddle me, I wish tey'd do it now

As sixteen months as fine a lad as ever could be seen
the girls are like to follow me right down to the green
they'd make a chain of buttercups and drop it on my brow
Then they'd roll me in the clover, well I wish they'd do it now

Oh, I wish they'd do it now, Oh, I wish they'd do it now
they'd roll me in the clover, well I wish they'd do it now

Well the eastern girls would go with me to swim when I was mild
down to the river we would go and splash about a while
they'd throw the water over me, duck me like a cow
then they'd rub me nice all over, well, I wish they'do it now

Oh, I wish they'd do it now, oh, I wish they'd do it now
they'd rub me nice all over, well I wish they'do it now

Well it's awful lonely for a lad to live a single life
I think I'll go to dance tonight and find myself a wife
Oh I have got six brindled pigs, likewise one fat sow
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll love me now

Oh, the girl who'll love me now, oh, the girl who'll love me now
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll love me now
Oh, the girl who'll love me now, oh, the girl who'll love me now
There'll be plenty love and bacon for the girl who'll love me now
