The Poor Lassie's Lament

A poor lass, Lassie lassie o
A poor poor lass, am I
Pocket poor,
I am for sure
But I'd rather laugh than cry

To live within a big fine house
Would be a wonderous scheme
But how then could I spend my days
Lookin' up at the clouds to dream?

A poor lass, Lassie lassie o
A poor poor lass, am I
Bills unpaid, no supper laid
But fiddle de de de di

To marry me a wealthy lord
Would be so fancy fine
But how could I leave my penniless love
For his heart 'tis truly mine?

A poor lass, Lassie lassie o
A poor poor lass, am I
My dress in rags,
The mortage lags
But I never tell a lie

I'd rather be a poor poor lass
Than to social convention bend
But the music calls me to the pub
So might ye a coin to lend?

A poor lass, Lassie lassie o
A poor poor lass, am I
Pocket poor,
I am for sure
But I'd rather laugh than cry...
