Ladies breastknot/The Silken Snood

THE SILKEN SNOOD.

O I hae loſt my ſilken ſnood,
that tied my hair sae yellow;
I've gi'en my heart to the lad I loo'd,
he was a gallant fellow.

Chor. And twine it well my bonny dow,
and twine it weel the plaiden;
The laſſie loſt ber ſilken ſnood,
in pu'ing of the bracken.

He prais'd my e'en, fae bonny blue,
fae lily white my ſkin, O;
And ſyne he pried my bonny mou',
and ſwore it was nae ſin, O. And, &c.

But he has left the laſs he loo'd,
his ain true love forſaken
Which gars me fair to greet the ſnood
I loſt among the bracken. And, &c.
