Jenny she {jaed up the stair,
Sac privily, to change her smock;
•And ay sae lotfd as her mither ilid rair,
Hey, Jenny, come down to Joek .
.Jenny she came down the stair.
And she came bobbin andbeckin ben;
Jenny lookit, and syne she lc-ugh;
Ye first maun get my mither's consent:
A weel, guidwife, and what say ye:
Quo' she, Jock, I'm weel content.
Jenny to her mither did say,
O mither, fetch ns some gude meat;
II<r stays they were lacd,&-hcr waist ftwasjinip, A piece of the butter was kirn'd the day,
And a braw new—made manco gown .
Jocky took her by the hand;
O, Jenny, can ye fancy me?
My father is dead &: has left me some land,
And braw houses twa or three :
That Jocky and I thegither may eat.
Jocky onto Jenny did say,
Jenny, my dear, I want nac meat;
It was nac for meat that I came here,
But a' for the love of you,Jenny,my dear.
Jenny she gacd up the gait,
"Wi' a green gown as side as her smock;
And ay sae loud as her mither did rair,
Vow, sirs! has nac Jenny got Jock.
And I will gie them a' to thee.
A haith, quo 1 Jenny, I fear you mock:
Tin n, f<uil fa'me,gin I scorn thee;
If ye'll be my Jenny, 1 11 be your Jock
