W:2.I said, My lassie, will ye gang
W:    To the Highland hills, some Earse to learn?
W:  And I'll gie thee baith cow and ewe,
W:    When ye come to the brig of Earn.
W:  At Leith auld meal comes in, ne'er fash,
W:    And herrings at the Broomilaw;
W:  Cheer up your heart, my bonny lass,
W:    There's gear to win we never saw.
W:
W:3.A' day when we hae wrought enough,
W:    When winter frosts and snaws begin,
W:  Soon as the' sun gaes west the loch,
W:    At night when ye sit down to spin,
W:  I'll screw my pipes, and play a spring ;
W:    And thus the weary night we'll end,
%page 38
W:  Till the tender kid, and lamb-time, bring
W:    Our pleasant simmer back again.
W:
W:4.Syne when the trees are in their bloom,
W:    And gowans glent o'er ilka field,
W:  I'll meet my lass amang the broom,
W:    And lead her to my simmer bield.
W:  There, far frae a' their scornfu' din,
W:    That mak the kindly heart their sport,
W:  Well laugh, and kiss, and dance, and sing,
W:    And gar the iangest day seem short.
