/ HAD A HORSE.
I Had a horfe and I had nae mair,
I got him frae my daddy ;
My purfe was light, and my heart was lair.
But my wit it was fu’ ready.
And fae I thought upon a wile
Outwittcns o’ my daddy.
To fee myfelf to a lawland laird.
Who had a bonny lady.
Then fhe pat filler in my purfe.
We drank wine in a cogie;
She fee’d a man to rub my horfe,
And, wow ! but I was vogie.
But I gat ne’er fae fair a fleg,
Since I came frae my daddy;
The laird came rap, rap, to the yate.
When I was wi’ his lady.
