Brigadoon movie - Waitin' For My Dearie lyrics
rate me<br>
FIONA:<br>
Many a lassie as ev'ryone knows'll<br>
Try to be married before twenty-five.<br>
So she'll agree to most any proposal.<br>
All he mus' be is a man, an' alive.<br>
I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'<br>
I know there's one certain laddie for me.<br>
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon:<br>
But should he not, then an old maid I'll be.<br>
Foolish, ye may say.<br>
Foolish I will stay.<br>
Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I<br>
to hold my heart till he comes strollin' by.<br>
When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know<br>
That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so.<br>
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives,<br>
I'll not ever, ever grieve.<br>
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by;<br>
For ye see, I believe<br>
That there's a laddie weary, and wanderin' free,<br>
Who's waitin' for his dearie:<br>
Me!<br>
<br>
1ST GIRL:<br>
What do ye do while ye're waitin' around<br>
For your lad to come your way?<br>
<br>
FIONA:<br>
Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground,<br>
An' ye pray an' pray an' pray!<br>
<br>
2ND GIRL:<br>
But when lassies sit an' have no men,<br>
Oh, how long becomes the night.<br>
<br>
FIONA:<br>
But I fear the night is longer when the lad's no' right.<br>
Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me<br>
Than wooin' any laddie on the lea.<br>
<br>
GIRLS:<br>
Dreamin' of your dearie, an' idlin' the day<br>
<br>
FIONA:<br>
That's how I am an' how I'll ever stay.<br>
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives,<br>
I'll not ever, ever grieve.<br>
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by;<br>
For ye see, I believe<br>
<br>
FIONA AND GIRLS:<br>
That there's a laddie weary, an' wanderin' free,<br>
who's waitin' for his dearie:<br>
<br>
FIONA:<br>
Me!<br>
