OR, CALEDONIAN WARBLER.
Though mountains high may part us baitlij
Though roaring seas may sever,
Beheve me still, I'll keep my faith;
Forget thee I will never, O,
Forget thee I will never.
O tell me, dearest, ere we part..
You'll constant be to me ;
O tell me you will keep your heart.
Aye true as mine to thee.
Then though hard fate has doom'd it sae.
That we a while maun sever ;
O sune I hope will come the day,
We'll meet again for ever, O,
We'll meet again for ever.
THE BR AW FICKLE WOOEIL
Tune — The Lothian Lassie.
Last May a braw wooer cam down the lang glen.
An' sair wi' his love he did deave me ;
I said there was naething I hated like men !
The deuce gae wi'm to believe me, believe me.
The deuce sae wi'm to believe me.
He spak o' the darts o' my bonnie black een^
An' vow'd for my love he was diein' ;
I said he might die when he liked, for Jean .
The gude forgie me for liein' ! for liein'.
The gude forgie me for liein' !
