W:2.How kind her looks, how blest was I,
W:    While in my arms I press'd her!
W:  And she her wishes scarce conceal'd,
W:    As fondly I caress'd her.

W:  She said, If that your heart be true,
W:    If constantly you'll love me,
W:  I heed not cares, nor fortune's frowns,
W:    For nought but death shall move me.
W:
W:3.But faithful, loving, true, and kind,
W:    For ever you shall find me,
W:  And of our meeting here so sweet,
W:    Loch-Erroch side will mind me.
W:  Enraptur'd then, My lovely lass,
W:    I cried, no more we'll tarry!
W:  We'll leave the fair Loch-Erroch side,
W:    For lovers soon should marry.

T: the LASS OF GOWRIE
T: to the same air
K:
W:1.Upon a simmer afternoon,
W:  A wee before the sun gade down,
W:  My lassie, in a braw new gown,
W:    Came o'er the hills to Gowrie.
W:  The rose-bud, ting'd with morning show'r,
W:  Blooms fresh within the sunny bow'r;
W:  But Katie was the fairest flow'r
W:    That ever bloom'd in Gowrie.
W:
%page 95
W:2.Nae thought had I to do her wrang,
W:  But round her waist my arms I flang,
W:  And said, My dearie, will ye gang
W:    To see the Carse o' Gowrie?
W:  I'll tak you to my father's ha',
W:  In yon green fields beside the shaw;
W:  I'll mak you lady o' them a',
W:    The brawest wife in Gowrie.
W:
W:3.A silken gown o' siller grey,
W:  My mither coft last new-year's-day,
W:  And buskit me frae tap to tae,
W:    To keep me out o' Gowrie.
W:  Daft Will, short syne, cam courting Nell,
W:  And wan the lass, but what befel,
W:  Or whare she's gane, she kens hersel;
W:    She staid na lang in Gowrie.
W:
W:4.Sic thoughts, dear Katie, ill combine
W:  Wi' beauty rare, and wit like thine;
W:  Except yoursel, my bonny queen,
W:    I care for nought in Gowrie.
W:  Since first I saw you in the sheal,
W:  To you my heart's been true and leal;
W:  The darkest night I fear nae de'il,
W:    Warlock, or witch, in Gowrie.
W:
W:5.Saft kisses on her lips I laid;
W:  The blush upon her cheeks soon spread;
W:  She whisper'd modestly, and said,
W:    O Pate, I'll stay in Gowrie!
W:  The auld folks soon gae their consent,
W:  Syne for Mess John they quickly sent,
W:  Wha ty'd them to their heart's content,
W:    And now she's lady Gowrie.
