ORj CALEDONIAN' WAUBLER . • 1
Yet them I'll not grieve,
Nor without their leave
Gie my hand as a wife to thee ;
Be content with a heart,
That can never desert
Till they cease to oppose or to be
My parents may prove
Yet friends to our love,
When our firm resolves they see ;
Then I with pleasure
Will yield up my treasure,
And a' that love orders to thee. Bamsay,
O'ER THEMUIR AMANG THE HEATHER,
Coming through the craigs o' Kyle,
Amang the bonnie blooming heather^
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her ewes thcgither.
O'er the muir amang the heather,
O'er the muir amang the heather
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her ewes thegither.
Says I, My dear, where is your hame ?
In muir or dale, pray tell me vvhether ?
Says she, I tent thae fleecy flocks
That feed amang the blooming heather.
O'er the muir amang the heather,
O'er the muir amang the heather ;
Says she, I tent thae fleecy flocks
That feed amang the blooming hcatlier
