But love gave command, I took her by the hand,
and bade a’ her fears dispel O,
And nae mair look vain, for I was the man,
wha had done her the deed mysel, O.

My bonny sweet lass, on the gowany grass,
beneath the shilling hill, O,
If I did offence, I've mak ye amends,
before I leave Peggy's mill, O.
O the mill mill O and the kill kill O
and the coggin o' the weel, O,
The sake and sieve, a' that ye maun leave,
and round wi' a sodger reel, O.

FINIS.
