far hae I wander d dear lafsie»
To fee thee fail'd the fait fea,
I've 'travfl'd o'er muirlan an' mountain.
An houfelefs Iain cauld on the lea;
1 never hae try'd yet, to reiak love to ony.
Never loe d om , till ance I loe'd jou,
-An now were alane in the greenwood fae bonny.
Now, tell me dear lafsie the way for to woo.
What care J, for jour wandering, laddie.
Or yet for your failing the fea.
It was na for nought ye left Pegg\-,
My tocher it brought _>e to me;
An fajy-, hae ye goud for to bufk me ay gaud^-.
Ribbons an pearlins an breaftknots enow,
A houfe that is canty, wi' plenifhin* plenty.
Without them, ye never need come for to woo.
=rt--fe--
I hae naC goud to bufk ye a\' gaudy.
Nor jet, buy ribbons enow,
I brag not o' houfe or ©'plenty.
But, r ha'e a heart that is true;
f came na for tocher, I ne'er heard of ony.
Never lo ed Peggj-, nor e er brak my vow;
I ve wander'd, poor fool, for a face faufe as bonny;
[ little thought this was the wa^- for to woo.
Hae na ye roofd my cheeks like the morning.
An roofd my cherry red mow.
Ye ve come oer the Sea, Muir, and Mountain^
What mait* Johnny need ye to woo;
An far ha'e ye wander'd 1 ken, my dear laddie.
Now ye hae found me, ye ve nae caufe to rue,
Wi' health we'll ha^e plenty, I'll never gang gaud\ ,
I ne er Kifh'd for mair than' a heart that is true.
She hid her fair face in his bofom.
The tear fill'd ilk lovers ee.
An fabbclbj- the fide o' the burnie.
While the mavis fang fweet on the tree;
He clafpci her, he prefs'd her an cad her his honey*
Look'd in her face wi' a heart leel an' true.
As aften fhe figh'd an faid, my dear Johnny*
Nae body need tell ye the wa\' for to woo.
