Lyrics
Broom Besoms
Intro: C G C G C G C G
[G] I Maun [C] hae a [G] wife, what-[C]-soe'er she [G] be;
[G] An she [C] be a [G] woman, that's e-[D]-neugh for [G] me.
If that she be bonny, I shall think her right:
If that she be ugly, where's the odds at night?
Chorus:
[D] Buy broom [C] bes-[G]-oms! [C] wha will [G] buy them [D] now;
[G] Fine heather [D] ring-[C]-ers, [G] better [D] never [G] grew.
O, an she be young, how happy shall I be!
If that she be auld, the sooner she will die.
If that she be fruitfu', O! what joy is there!
If she should be barren, less will be my care.
If she like a drappie, she and I'll agree;
If she dinna like it, there's the mair for me.
Be she green or gray; be she black or fair;
Let her be a woman, I shall seek nae mair.
