[Verse 1]
As I cam in by Monymusk
And doun by Alford's dale
A sad misfortune happened tae me
I think it nae shame tae tell
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 2]
As I gaed in by Monymusk
The muin wis shinin clear
And I held on tae Lethendy
Tae see ma Maggie dear
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 3]
I did gang where I did think
That aw war sleepin soond
But plague upon yon auld wife
For she cam slinkin doun
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 4]
Sae cannily she slippit the lock
And set the door agree
Then crawled upon her hands and knees
Tae see whit it coud be
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
As I cam in by Monymusk
And doun by Alford's dale
A sad misfortune happened tae me
I think it nae shame tae tell
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 2]
As I gaed in by Monymusk
The muin wis shinin clear
And I held on tae Lethendy
Tae see ma Maggie dear
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 3]
I did gang where I did think
That aw war sleepin soond
But plague upon yon auld wife
For she cam slinkin doun
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
[Verse 4]
Sae cannily she slippit the lock
And set the door agree
Then crawled upon her hands and knees
Tae see whit it coud be
Fal te tou ril, fal te tou ril aye-do
