"Broomielaw" lyrics

As I went out on a summer's morning
As I went down by the Broomielaw
It was there I met with a Glasgow woman
Her cheeks like roses and her skin like snow

Lassie lassie, why do you wander
All alone by the Broomielaw?
Sailor sailor, the truth I'll tell you
I've a lad of me ain and he's far awa'

It's seven long years since I loved that sailor
It's seven long years since he sailed awa'
And another seven I'll wait upon him
And I'll bleach my clothes in the Broomielaw

O lassie lassie you have been faithful
You've been true to me while I've been awa'
Two hearts like ours, they should never be parted
I'll sail no more from the Broomielaw

And then this couple, they have been married
Now they keep an alehouse between them twa
And the sailor laddies they still come calling
On the bleacher lassie o Kelvinhaugh
