Leddy, Leddy Landers,
Leddy, Leddy Landers,
Tak yer cloak
Aboot yer heid
And flee awa tae Flanders.
Flee ower the firth
And flee ower the fell;
Flee ower the pool
And the rinnin well
Flee ower the moor and
Flea ower the mead;
Flee ower the livin;
Flee ower the deid;
Flee over corn,
And flee ower lea,
Flee ower river,
Flee ower sea,
Flee East;

Flee til him

English Lyrics for 'Ladybird'

Lady, Lady Landers,
Lady, Lady Landers
Take up your cloak
About your head,
And fly away to Flanders.
Fly over firth,
And fly over fell,
Fly over pool,
And running well,
Fly over moor,
And fly over mead,
Fly over living,
Fly over dead,
Fly over corn,
And fly over lea,
Fly over river,
Fly over sea,
Fly you east,
Or fly you west,
Fly to him
That loves me best.
