iS Songs Compleat,
. For I have neither robbed nor stole,
Nor have I done any injury ;
But I have gotten a Fair Maid with Child,
The Minister's Daughter of bonny Dundee:
Come fill up my Cup, come fill up my Can,
| Come saddle my Horse and call up my Man,
Come open the Gates and let me go free,
And Ise gang no more to bonny Dundee.
Altho' Ise gotten her Maiden-head,
Geud feth Ise given her mine in lieu ;
For when at her Daddy's Ise gang to Bed,
Ise mow'd her without any more to do ?
Ise cuddle her close, and gave her a Kiss,
Pray tell now where is the harm of this,
Then open the Gates and let me go free,
And Ise gang no more to bonny Dundee.
All Scotland ne'er afforded a Lass,
So bonny and blith as Je?iny my dear ;
Ise gave her a Gown of Green on the Grass,

Then saddle my Nag that's bonny and gay,
For now it is time to gang hence away,
Then ope?i the Gates a?id let me go free,
She's ken me no more to bonny Dundee.
In Liberty still I reckon to Reign,
For why I have done no honest Man wrong ;
The Parson may take his Daughter again,
For she'll be a Mammy before it is long :
And have a young Lad or Lass of my breed,
Ise think I have done her a generous deed;
Then open the Gates and let me go free,
For Ise gang no ?nore to bonny Dundee.
Since Jenny the Fair was willing and kind,
And came to my Arms with a ready good will ;
A token of love Ise left her behind,
Thus I have requited her kindness still :
