Lyrics What Can a Young Lassie Do Wi’ An Auld Man by Robert Burns

What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?

Bad luck on the penny that tempted my minnie
To sell her puir Jenny for siller an' lan'
Bad luck on the penny that tempted my minnie
To sell her puir Jenny for siller an' lan'!

What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?

He's always compleenin' frae mornin' to e'enin'
He hoasts and he hirples the weary day lang;
He's doylt and he's dozin, his blude it is frozеn, -
O, dreary's the night wi' a crazy auld man!

What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**iе
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
He hums and he hankers, he frets and he cankers
I never can please him do a' that I can;
He's peevish an' jealous o' a' the young fellows, -
O, dool on the day I met wi' an auld man!

What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?

My auld auntie Katie upon me taks pity
I'll do my endeavour to follow her plan;
I'll cross him an' wrack him, until I heartbreak him
And then his auld bra** will buy me a new pan

What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
What can a young la**ie, what shall a young la**ie
What can a young la**ie do wi' an auld man?
