I (lighted ay her een sae blue,
An' bann'd the cruel randy ;
And, weel I wat, her willin mou'
Was sweet as sugar-candy.
At gloamin-shot it was, I wot,
I lighted on the Monday,
But I cam thro' the Tyesday's dew
To wanton Willie's brandy.
No. 200. Gat ye me, O, gat ye me.

Rock an' reel, an' spinning wheel,
A mickle quarter bason :

A heich house and a laigh ane,

' O, haud your tongue now, Lucky Lang,
O, haud your tongue and jauner !
I held the gate till you I met.
Syne I began to wander :
I tint my whistle and my sang,
I tint my peace and pleasure ;
But your green graff, now Lucky Lang,
Wad airt me to my treasure.'
