W:2.But there is ane, a secret ane,
W:    Aboon them a' I loe him better;
W:  And I'll be his, and he'll be mine,
W:    The bonny lad o' Galla water.

W:    And though I hae nae muckle tocher,
W:  Yet rich in kindest, truest love,
W:    We'll tent our flocks by Galla water.

T:  MARY'S CHARMS.

K:
W:1.Mary's charms subdu'd my breast,
W:    Her glowing youth, her manner winning;
W:  My faithful vows I fondly press'd,
W:    And mark'd the sweet return beginning.
W:
W:2.Fancy kindly on my mind
W:    Yet paints that ev'ning's dear declining,
%page 33
W:  When, raptur'd first, I found her kind,
W:    Her melting soul to love resigning.
W:
W:3.Years of nuptial bliss have roll'd,
W:    And still I've found her more endearing;
W:  Each wayward passion she controul'd,
W:    Each anxious care, each sorrow cheering,
W:
W:4.Children now, in ruddy bloom,
W:    With artless look attention courting.
W:  With infant smiles dispel each gloom,
W:    Around our hut so gaily sporting.

W:1.Braw, braw lads of Galla water,
W:    O braw lads of Galla water!
W:  I'll kilt my coats aboon my knee,
W:    And follow my love through the water.
W:
W:2.Sae fair her hair, sae brent her brow,
W:    Sae bonny blue her een, my dearie;
W:  Sae white her teeth, sae sweet her mou',
W:    The mair I kiss, she's ay my dearie.

W:3.Owre yon bank, and owre yon brae,
W:    Owre yon moss amang the heather;
W:  I'll kilt my coat aboon my knee,
W:    And follow my love through the water.
W:
W:4.Down amang the broom, the broom,
W:    Down amang the broom, my dearie,
W:  The lassie lost a silken snood,
W:    That cost her mony a blirt and bleary.
