Her clieriy cheek and honigr men'
I pree'd it aft, as ye ms^ true.

T hae a liOTise.it cost me dear,
iVe walth o' pleaishan and gear,
T^'se ^et it a' was't ten times mair.
Gin ye mU leave vour Mamiicv.
The sraiel gae'd aff her houny face, I maim nae leav-c- my Mamcny,
She's gi'en me meat, she's gi'en me elaes,
She's been my comfort a' my days ,
My father's death hron^ht moiry waes,
I mamt nae leave ?tiy Mammj.
Well tat her hame, and mak het fain, my ain land .hearted lammy ,
WtH gie her meat . well gie her cUes ,
Well he Iter comfort a' her days.
The we thing gifes her liand, and says.
There , go and ask my Mammy.

She has been tb the Kirk wi' rae.
And liie tear stood in her Ec,
But oil! she's bat a joong thing.
Just come firae her Mammy.
