Sae put on your pearlings, Marion,
Wi' kirtle of the cramasie ;
And sae soon's my chin has nae hair on }
I shall come west, and see thee-
HOW BLYTHE HAE I BEEN.
How blythe hae I been wi 1 my Sandy,
As we sat in the howe o 1 the glen !
But nae mair can I meet wi' my Sandy,
To the banks o' the Rhine he is gane.
Alas ! that the trumpet's loud clarion
Thus draws a 1 our shepherds afar ;
O cou'dna the ewe-bughts and Marion
Please mair than the horrors o 1 war !
Not a plough in our land has been ganging ;
The ousen hae stood in their sta" ;
Nae flails in our barns hae been banging.
For mair than a towmond or twa.
