She had nae run a mile or tw-a,
WTicn she began to consider
The angering of her father dear,
The displeasing of her mither,
The slighting o' the silly bridegroom,
The w eel -w arst o' the three ;
Then, hey, play Tin the rin-awa bride,
For she has tacn the gee.
Her father and her mother
Ran after her wi' speed,
And ay they ran until they cam
Unto the water of Tweed"
And when they came to Kelso town,
They gart the clap ^^* c thro';
Then, hey, play up .the "rin-aw-a bride,
For she has taen the gee.
Saw- ye a lass wi' a hoo.d and a mantle,
The face o't Hud up w-i' bine; .
The face o't lind up wi' blue;
And the tail lind- round wi' green
Saw y*-- a lass, wi' a hood and a mantle
"Sud been married on Tysday 'tctn,
Then, lie\, f>lay up the rin-awa bride,
For she has taen the g'ee .
Now wally tu' fa' the silly bridegroom,
He was as salt as butter;
For, had she play d the like to me,
Id neer made sit h splutter;
1 -I taen a tune o' m^ hoboy-
And set my fancy free;
Ami, sync, playd up the rin-awa brid< ,
And lllltell her tak tli<
