OR, CALEDONIAN WARBLER, 143
Gleed Sandy he came west ae night,
And spier'd when I saw Pate ;
And aye sin'-syne the neighbours round.
They jeer me air and late.
But let them say, or let them do,
It's a' ane to me ;
For I'll gae to the bonny lad,
That's waiting on me ;
Waiting on me, my love,
He's waiting on me ;
)r he's low down, he's
That's waiting on me.
WHEN EVENING SPREADS,
Tune — Life let us cherish.
O my charming Mary,
Sweeter than the new-blown rose
For my lovely Mary,
My heart with love o'erflows.
When ev'ning spreads its sable veil,
O'er hill, and field, and flowery dale,
With beating heart, I never fail,
To roam in search of Mary.
O my charming, &cc.
