| O gin I were a baron’s heir
|
| And I could braid gems in my hair
|
| I’d be as braw as ye are fair
|
| Laddie would you love me
|
| And I would take you to the toun
|
| And show you braw sights, manys a wan
|
| And I would wear a silken gown
|
| Oh, laddie would you love me
|
| Oh should you be content I’ll prove in lowly life unfading love
|
| A heart that none on earth can move
|
| Oh, laddie would you love me
|
| And ere the laverock wings the sky
|
| Would you unto the forest hie
|
| And live with me until we die
|
| Oh, laddie would you love me
|
| And when the braw moon glistens o’er
|
| Our lonesome bield and heathery mair
|
| Will you no greet that we’re so poor
|
| Oh laddie for I love thee
|
| For I have nought to offer thee
|
| No gold from mine nor pearl from sea
|
| Nor do I come fae high degree
|
| Oh, laddie how I love thee
|
| Ah, would you come and marry me
|
| Oh, laddie would you love me |
