Wat ye bow she cheat-ed me, As I cam' o'er the braes o' Bal-loch.
Wat ye how she cheat - ed me, As
cam' o'er the braes o' Bal-lcch.
0, she was a canty quean,
And weel could dance the Highland walloch :
How happy I, had she been mine,
Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch.
Roy's wife, &c.
Her hair sae fair, her een sae clear,
Her wee bit mou' sae sweet and bonnie ;
To me she ever will be dear,
Though she's for ever left her Johnnie.
Roy's wife, &c.
THOUGH YOU LEAVE ME NOW IN SORROW.
Same Air.
To be sung in slow time, with great feeling.
Though you leave me now in sorrow,
Smiles may light our love to-morrow,
Doom'd to part, my faithful heart
A gleam of joy from hope shall borrow.
Ah ! ne'er forget, when friends are near,
This heart alone is thine for ever ;
Thou may'st find those will love thee dear,
But not a love like mine, O never !
Note.— When duets are introduced into this work, the melodies invariably retain their
original simplicity, and may be sung as solos, if desired. We are pleased to learn from our
numerous correspondents, that the plan of thus arranging our national melodies as duets,
has met with such hearty approbation.— [Ed. L.G.S.]
