Muirland Willie.
HArkcn, and I will tell you how
Young Muirland Willie came to woo.
, Tho' he could neither fay nor do 5
The Truth I tell to you.
But ay he cries^ whate*er betide,
Maggy I'fe ha'e her to be my Bride,
With afal^ duly &c.
On his gray Yad as he did ride, '
With Durk and Piftol by his fide,
He prick*d her on wi' meikle Pride,
Wi* meikle Mirth and Glee.
Out o'er yon Mofs, out o*er yon Muir,
Till he came to her Dady's Door,
With afaly dal^ &c.
Goodman, quoth he, be ye within,
I'm come your Doghter's Love to win,
I care no for making meikle Din i
What Anlwer gi' yc me ?
