My daddy 6ays, gin 111 forsake him,
He'll gie me £uid hunder marks ten :
But if its ordain' d I maun tak him,
O wha will I get but Tarn Glen ?
Yestreen at the Valentines dealin,
My heart to my mou gied a sten,
For thrice I drew ane without failin,
An' thrice it was written, Tam Glen.
For thrice, &c.
The last halloween I was waukin,
My droukit sark sleeve, as ye ken,
His likeness cam tfp the house staukin,
An' the very grey breeks o' Tam Glen.
Come counsel, dear tittie, don't tarry j
I'll gie you my bonny black hen,
Gin ye will advise me to marry
The lad I loe dearly, Tam Glen.
Gin ye will, See.
