O hey, Robin, quo" she,
'O he j, Robin, quo 1 she,
O he j, Robin, quo" 1 she,
Kind Robin lo'es me.
SAW YE MY FATHER.
.^-- T -
O saw ye my fa-ther ? or saw ye my
mother ? Or saw ye my true-love John ?
I saw na your father, I saw na your
mother, But I saw your true-love John.
It's now ten at night, and the stars gie nae light.
And the bells they ring, ding dang ;
He's met wi 1 some delay, that causeth him to stay.
But he will be here ere lang.
