Ewan Mac Coll I Maun Hae a Wife ( Robert Burns)

Ewan MacColl I Maun Hae a Wife (Robert Burns) I maun hae a wife, whatsoe er she be An she be a woman, that s enough for me. chorus: Buy broom besoms Wha will buy them noo Fine heather ringers, better never grew. If that she be bonnie, I shall think her right, If that she be ugly, where s the odds at night O, an she be young, how happy shall I be If that she be auld, the sooner she will dee. If that she be fruitfu, O what joy is there If she should be barren, less will be my care. Be she green or grey, be she black or fair Let her be a woman, I shall seek nae mair. If she like a drappie, she and I ll agree, If she dinna like it, there s the mair for me.
