The shoemaker
Language: English
Shoemaker, shoemaker, are ye within? A fal a fall addie fallee! Hae ye got shoes to fit me so trim For a kiss in the morning early? O fair may, come in and see, A fal a fall addie fallee! I've got but ae pair and I'll gie them to thee For a kiss in the morning early. He's ta'en her in behind the bench, A fal a fall addie fallee! And there he has fitted his own pretty wench. With a kiss in the morning early.
