212
But be nae beat, rny bonnie lass,
Let my waitin' stand for thine ;
We'll awa to Craigton shaw,
And seek the joys we tint yestreen.
OUR GUDEMAN CAM' HAME AT E'EN.
Our gudeman cam hame at e'en,
And hame cam he ;
And there he saw a saddle-horse,
Where nae horse should be.
Oh, how cam this horse here ?
How can this be ?
How cam this horse here,
Without the leave o' me ?
A horse I quo' she !
Aye, a horse, quo' he.
Ye auld blind dotard carle.
And blinder mat ye be !
It's but a bonnie milk-cow,
My mither sent to me.
A milk- cow ! quo' he ;
Aye, a milk-cow, quo' she.
Far hae I ridden,
And muckle hae I seen ;
But a saddle on a milk-cow
Saw I never nane.
Our gudeman cam hame at e'en.
And hame cam he ;
He spied a pair o' jack-boots,
Where nae boots should be.
What's this now, gudewife ?
What's this I see ?
How cam thae boots here.
Without tlie leave o' me ?
