SONGS OF SCOTLAND.
J '11 gar our guidman trow
I '11 tak the fling-strings,
If lie winna buy to me
Twal bonnie gowd rings ;
Ane for ilka finger,
And twa for ilka thoom ;
Stand about, ye fisher jauds,
And gie my gown room !
I '11 gar our guidman trow
That I 'm gaun to die,
If he winna fee to me
Valets twa or three,
To bear my train up frae the dirt,
And ush me 'through the town ;
Stand about, ye fisher jauds,
And gie my gown room ! 1
