OR, CAi,EB(?NIAN WAR-BLER.
Content, quo' he, a bargain be't,
I'm far frae hame, make haste, let's do't,
With a fal de ral lal, &c.
The bridal-day it came to pass,
Wi' mony a blythesome lad and lass ;
But sickan a day there never was,
Sic mirth was never seen ;
This winsome couple straiked hands,
Mess John tied up the marriage-bands,
With a fal de ral lal, &c.
And our bride's-maidens werena few
Wi' tap-knots, lug-knots, a' in blue ;
Frae tap to tae they were braw new,
And bhnkit bonnilie.
Their toys and mutches were sae clean,
They glanced in our lads' een,
With a fal de ral lal, &c.
Sic hirdum-dirdum, and sic din,
Wi' he o'er her, and she o'er him,
The minstrels they did never blin',
Wi' meikle mirth and glee ;
And aye they bobbit, and aye they beck't,
And aye their hands thegither met,
With a fal de ral lal, &c.
MY LOVE SHE'S BUT A LASSIE YET.
My love she's but a lassie yet,
My love she's but a lassie yet :
We'll let her stand a 3^ear or twaj
Shc'Jl no be hauf sae saucy vet.
