WILLY'S RARE, AND WILLY’S FAIR.
Willy’s rare, and Willy’s fair.
And Willy’s wond’rous bonny;
And Willy heght to marry me.
Gin e’er he marry’d ony.
O! came you by yon water-fide ?
Pu’d you the rofe or lily?
N
Or came you by yon meadow green?
Or faw you my fweet Willy?
Yeftreen I made my bed fu* brade,
The night I’ll make it narrow;
For a’ the live long winter’s night.
I’ll lie twin’d of my marrow.
She fought him eaft, fhe fought him weft.
She fought him brade and narrow;
Sine, in the clifting of a craig.
She found him drown’d in Yarrow.
