Yet, O 1 gin heaven in mercy sonn
Would grant the boon I crave,
And ttik this life, now naetliing wortb,
Sin' Jamie's in his grave 1
And see, his gentle spirit comes,
To show me on my way ;
Surpris'd, nae doubt, I still am here,

' I come, I come, my Jamie dear ;
And, O ! wi' what gude will
I follow, wheresoe'er ye lead !
Ye canna lead to iU.'

Her faded cheek possess'd ;
Her waefu' heart forgot to beat ;
Her sorrows sank to rest.

The maidens try, both far and near,
To gain young Sandy over ;
But all their arts 1 dinna fear, —
He winna prove a rover :
For, sure, he told me fra-.k and free,
Unknown to mam or daddie, O I
He'd marry none — ah ! no, but me.

The other day, from Dundee fair.
He brought me home a bonnet,
A cap and ribbons for my hair, —
But mark what soon came on it
As late at kirk we somehow stood,
In spite of mam or daddie, O 1
He married me, do all I could,
The Caledonian laddie, O 1
My bonnie, bonnie, Srs.
