Name: Maybe I'll Be Married
Duration: P00H03M52S
Description: Gillian learned this song from the singing of Alison McMorland. She recorded it with Sandra Kerr on the album "My Song is My Own" in 1979. The words were very similar to the traditional song For A' That, where a girl dreams of a young lover coming to take her away from her simple lowly life and raise her to better things.

lyrics

Maybe Ill be Married

Maybe I’ll be married
Maybe nane at a
Maybe I’ll be married
Tae the laird of Turnisha

CH Oh riggy doo, rig rig a daddie
Oh riggy doo, rig rig a day
Oh riggy doo, rig rig a daddie
Oh riggy doo, rig rig a day

Maybe I’ll be married
Maybe I’ll win hame
Maybe I’ll be married
Tae the lad I durna name

CH

He’s comin here and he will be here
He’s comin here for a that
Bonny lad that’ll marry me
And tak me frae ye a yet

CH

Maybe I’ll hae hose and shoon
When ye maun a gang barfit
And maybe I’ll gang neat and clean
When ye gang wet and drabbet

CH

There’s nane o ye been guid tae me
But I’ll reward ye a yet
Ye’ll maybe need a peck o meal
When I can gie ye twa yet

CH

There’s nane o ye been guid tae me
But I’ll reward ye a yet
Ye’ll maybe sit in ma cot neuk
When I sit in ma ha yet.

CH
