W:  The wintry sun the day has clos'd,
W:    And I'll awa to Nannie, O.
W:  The westlin wind blaws loud and shill;
W:    The night's baith mirk and rainy, O;
W:  I'll get my plaid, and out I'll steal,
W:    And owre the hill to Nannie, O.

W:    Nae artfu' wiles to win ye, O:
W:  May ill befa' the flatt'ring tongue
W:    That wad beguile my Nannie, O.
W:  Her face is fair, her heart is true,
W:    As spotless as she's bonie, O;
W:  The op'ning gowan, wet wi' dew,
W:    Nae purer is than Nannie., O.
