/ LOV£ MV LOVE IN SECRET.
Sandy gied to me a ring.
Was a’ befet wi’ diamonds fine,
But I gied him a better thing,
I gied my heart in pledge o’ his ring.
My Sandy O, my Sandy O!
My bonny, bonny Sandy O!
Tho’ the love that I owe
To thee I dare na fhow.
Yet I love my love in fecret, my Sandy O!
My Sandy brak a piece of gow’d,
While down his cheeks the faut tears row’d,
He took a hauf and gied it me,
And I’ll keep it till the hour I die.
My Sandy O ! &c. &c.
