It's good to be free, like the water and the breeze To come and to go, whenever I please Well, honey your love is a clipping my wings I just wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings Well kiss you goodnight and then what do I do I hurry on home and dream about you It's crazy I know, but it's one of those things I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings Well, you touch my hand and it burns like a fire You kiss my lips and the flame grows higher Such a lucky devil to find a little lady like you So I'm crossing my heart and I'm telling no lies So hold me real close and close your eyes I'm stickin' real close, like I need to cling I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings Instro Break So I kiss you goodnight and then what do I do I hurry on home and dream about you It's crazy I know, but it's a one of those things I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings Well, you touch my hand and it burns like a fire You kiss a my lips and the flame grows higher Such a lucky devil to find a little lady like you So crossing my heart and I'm telling no lies So hold me real close and close your eyes I'm a stickin' real close, like a I need to cling I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings

Come all you good, kind people While I've got money to spend Tomorrow might be Monday And I'll neither have a dollar nor a friend When I've got plenty of money, good people My friends are all standing around Just as soon as my pocketbook is empty Not a friend on this earth can be found The last time I seen that dear woman, good people She had a wine glass in her hand She's a-drinking down her troubles With a lowdown, sorry, no good man My daddy told me a plenty good people And my momma she told me more Said son if you don't quit your rowdy ways You'll have trouble at your door All around this old jailhouse this evening, good people Forty dollars will pay my fine Corn whiskey has surrounded my body, poor boy Pretty women look trump in my mind If I'd a-listened to my momma, good people I would not be here today But a-drinking and a-shooting and a-gambling At home I cannot stay Go dig a hole in the meadow, good people Make it deep in that cold, cold ground Come gather around all you kind friends And see this poor rounder go down

Oh the Summer time is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go... And we'll al lgo together To pull wild mountain thyme From around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go I will build my love a bower Near yon pure crystal fountain And on it I will pile All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go lassie go... And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme From around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go If my true love she were gone I will surely find no other Where wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go... And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme From around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie go
