Lish Young Buy-A-Broom Clannad

As I went a-walking in the North Country
Down by Kirby Steven I happened for to be
As I was a-walking up and down the street
A pretty little buy-a-broom I chanced to meet

For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray

She kindly then invited me to go a little way
Yes was the answer to her I did say
There was me with my music walkin' down the street
And her with her tambourine was beatin' hand and feet

For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray

Straight way out for Kendal town we steered her and I
Over you green mountain the weather being dry
We each had a bottle filled up to the top
And whenever we were feeling dry we took a little drop

For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way
It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray

The night was coming on and good lodgings we did find
Eatables of all kind and plenty of good wine
Good bed and blankets just for we two
And I rolled her in me arms me boys, and wouldn't you do too
