wittens o' my daddie, To fee mysel to a
^H^iflil
Lawland laird, Wha had a bonny la-dy,
I wrote a letter, and thus began :
" Madam, be not offended ;
" I'm owre the lugs in love wi' you,
44 And I carena though ye kend it :
" For I get little frae the laird,
44 And far less frae my daddy,
44 Yet I wad blythely be the man
" Wad strive to please my lady."
She read my letter, and she leugh ;
44 Ye needna been sae blate, man,
44 Ye might hae come to me yoursel,
4< And tauld me a' your state, man.
44 Ye might hae come to me yoursel,
44 Outwittens o* ony body,
44 And made John Goukston o' the laird,
44 And kiss'd his bonny lady."
