Waitin' For My Dearie 1947 'Brigadoon'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Mar 2004

Many a lassie, as ev'ryone knows'll
try to be married before twenty five.
So she'll agree to most any proposal,
all he mus' be is a man an' alive.

I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'
I know there's one certain laddie for me.
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon
but should he not, then an old maid I'll be.

Foolish ye may say; foolish I will stay.

Waitin' for my dearie,
an' happy am I to hold my heart
till he comes strollin' by.
When he comes, my dearie,
one look an' I'll know that
he's the dearie I've been wanting so.
Though I'll live forty lives
till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve.
For my hopes will be high
that he'll come strollin' by,
for ye see, I believe
that there's a laddie weary
an' wanderin' free
who's waitin' for his dearie: me!

Waitin' for my dearie,
an' happy am I to hold my heart
till he comes strollin' by.
When he comes, my dearie,
one look an' I'll know that
he's the dearie I've been wanting so.
Though I'll live forty lives
till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve.
For my hopes will be high
that he'll come strollin' by,
for ye see, I believe
that there's a laddie weary
an' wanderin' free
who's waitin' for his dearie: me!
