作曲 : Traditional It happened at last Whitson time That I hae got no place An' I gaed doon tae Inchfae My fortune for tae chase. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. I met in wi' Adam Mitchell An' a fee we did presume He's a fairmer in Klenethlyn At a place called Sleepytoon. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. If you an I agree says he You'll get the fairest play For I never bid my servants Work above twelve hours a day. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. If a' be true you'll tell tae me You think the place'll suit An' I will gang along wi' you Although you're an ugly brute. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. Well the order was tae bed at nine. An' never leave the toon For every time we left it We'd be fined a half a' croon. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. Well we never heeded what he said But aye we took the pass Sometimes to buy tobacco An' sometimes to court a lass. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. Well my neighbour was fined a many's a croon But never lost the heart An' I myself was fined a croon For turning ow'r the cart. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. And now the time has come at last An' we hae all gang free An' we'll gang doon tae Tilford Tae hae ourselves a spree. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. An' when we gang tae Tilford We'll make the glass gang roond We'll tell them o' the muses That we got at Sleepytoon. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an. Maybe we'll see auld Mitchell there A' supping at his brose I'll gie him a len o' my hankie For tae wipe his snottery nose. Sing I ree eritie a'ree An' sing I ree eritie an.
