Sweet the joys the lovers find ;
Great the treasure, sweet the pleasure,
Where the heart is always kind.
Down the burn, &c.
Logie o' Buchan.
To its dvvn Tune.
© Logie o' Buchan, an' Logie the laird,
They hae ta'en awa Jamie, that delv'd in the yard,
Wha play'd on the pipe, an' the viol sae sma' ;
They hae ta'en awa Jamie, the flow'r o' them a'.
He said, think na lang, lassie, tho' I gang awa ;
He said, think na lang, lassie, tho' I gang-awa:
For the simmer is coming, cauld winter's awa,
An' I'll come an' see you in spite o' them a'.
Sandy has ousen, has gear, an' has kye ;
A house an' a hadden, an' siller forbye :
But I'd rather hae Jamie, wi' his staff in his hand,
Before I'd hae Sandy, wi' houses an' land.
He said, think na lang, lassie, &c.
My daddie looks sulkv, my minnie looks sour ;
They frown upon Jamie, because he is poor :
