I'LL
HAE
A
NEW
COATIE
.
Air
—
We'll
a'
to
Newcastle
by
Wylam
away
.
I'LL
hae
a
new
coatie
when
Willie
comes
hame
,
I'll
hae
a
new
plaidie
an'
a'
o'
the
same
;
An'
I'll
hae
some
pearlings
to
make
mysel
fine
,
For
it's
a'
to
delight
this
dear
laddie
o'
mine
.
Bessy
Bell
is
admir'd
by
a'
sorts
o'
men
,
I'll
mind
a'
her
fashions
and
how
she
comes
ben
;
I'll
mind
her
at
kirk
and
I'll
mind
her
at
fair
,
An'
never
ance
try
to
look
like
mysel
mair
.
For
I'll
ay
be
canty
when
Willie
comes
hame
,
To
like
sic
a
laddie
why
should
I
think
shame
!
Though
the
laird
flytes
my
mither
,
and
cries
,
"
Do
ye
see
,
That
lassie
cares
nought
for
my
siller
or
me
!
"
The
laird
he
has
money
,
the
laird
he
has
land
,
But
my
Willie
has
nought
but
the
sword
in
his
hand
;
Yet
I'd
live
upon
Chelsea
,
or
even
wad
beg
,
Should
my
soldier
return
wi'
a
poor
wooden
leg
!
For
I
maun
be
happy
when
Willie
comes
hame
,
To
lo'e
the
dear
laddie
I'll
never
think
shame
!
I'll
speak
up
to
Maggie
,
who
often
would
jeer
,
And
cry
,
"
She's
no
canty
,
'cause
Willie's
no
here
.
"
I
own
,
when
I
thought
I
should
see
him
nae
mair
,
My
een
they
grew
red
and
my
heart
it
grew
sair
;
To
sing
or
to
dance
was
nae
pleasure
to
me
,
Though
often
I
danc'd
wi'
the
tear
i'
my
ee
.
But
I'll
get
to
singing
an'
dancing
again
,
An'
I'll
get
the
laddie
and
a'
o'
my
ain
;
We've
a'
things
but
siller
,
then
why
should
I
fret
?
If
there's
riches
in
love
we'll
hae
gear
enough
yet
;
For
I
ken
weel
that
riches
can
make
themselves
wings
,
That
heart-aches
hide
under
braw
diamonds
and
rings
;
An'
though
love
canna
happiness
always
ensure
,
It
will
help
us
wi'
patience
our
lot
to
endure
.
Sae
I'll
ay
be
canty
when
Willie
comes
hame
,
To
lo'e
sic
a
laddie
why
should
I
think
shame
!
Though
the
laird
flytes
my
mither
,
and
cries
,
"
Do
ye
see
,
The
lassie
cares
nought
for
my
siller
or
me
!
"
The
laird
he
has
money
,
the
laird
he
has
land
,
But
Willie
has
nought
but
the
sword
in
his
hand
;
Yet
I'd
live
upon
Chelsea
,
or
even
wad
beg
,
Should
my
soldier
return
wi'
a
poor
wooden
leg
!
