gin I were a bonny bird,
Wi' wings that 1 might flee,
Then I wad travel o'er the main,
My ae true love to see :
Then I wad tell a joyfu' tale
To ane that's dear to me,
And sit upon a king's window,
And sing my melody.
The adder lies i' the corbie's nest,
Aneath the corbie's wame.
And the blast that reaves the corbie's brood
Shall blaw our good king hame.
Then blaw ye east, or blaw ye west.
Or blaw ye o'er the faem,
bring the lad that I lo'e best,
And ane I darena name !
