I met ayont the kairny,
Jenny Nettles, Jenny Nettles,
Singing till her bairny,
Robin Rattiest baftard ;
To flee the dool upo' the ftool,
And ilka ane that mocks her,
She round about feeks Robin out,
To flap it in his oxter.
Fy, fy ! Robin Rattle,
Robin Rattle, Robin Rattle ;
Fy, fy I Robin Rattle,
Ufe Jenny Nettles kindly :
Score out the blame, and fhun the fhame,
And without mair debate o't,
Take hame your wain, make Jenny fain
The leel and leefome gate o't.
J ocky 1 *s fou and Jenny's fain*
JOCKT fou, Jenny fain,
Jenny was nae ill to gain,
She was couthy, he was kind,
And thus the wooer tellM his mindo
Jenny 1*11 nae mair be nice,
Gi'e me love at ony price ;
I winna prig for red or whyt,
Love alane can gi'e delyt.
Others feek they kenna what,
In looks, in carriage, and a' that *
Give me love, for her I court :
Love in love makes a* the fport.
Colours minglM unco fine,
Common motives lang finfyne^
Never can engage my love,
V ntil my fancy ferft approve.
