The collier laddie-Henri's notions-figure style-cords-cover

This is from Henri's notions. I heard it before and it was stuck in my brain so I looked it up. I sort of copied the words loosely. It's a real up tune. It really needs to be sung by female but what the heck. The guitar parts a little loose but it's just a fun song.

My guitar is to halfstep slower FYI.

Cords are simple I won't put them all here but it's

"Oh see you not yon hills and Dales,
The sun shines on so gaudy;
They all are mine and they shall be thine,
if you leave your collier laddie."

G D A D
You should go in gay attire

and want to wait on every hand
if you leave your collier laddie

"Though ye had all the sun shines on,
And the earth conceals so lowly,
I turn my back on you and it all'
And embrace my collier laddie."




"O I can win my five pennies a day,
And spend't at nicht full brawly,
And mak' my bed in the collier's neuk
And lie doon wi' my collier laddie.

"Love for love is the bargain for me,
Though the wee cot-hoose should haud me,
And the world before me to win my breid,
And fare for m' collier laddie.
