At night when they went to their beds
I ſlept full ſound but Annie
(illegible text)ve to oppreſt her tender breast,
Thinking on Andrew Lammie.

Love comes in at my bed-ſide.
and loves her down beyond me
Love has poſſeſt my tender breaſt,
and love will waſte my body.
The firſt time I and my love met,
'Twas in the wood of Fyvie.
His comely frame, his ſpeech ſo ſoft,
ſoon gain'd the heart of Annie.

(illegible text) called me miſtreſs I ſaid no,
I'm Tiftie's bonny Annie,
With apples ſweet he did me treat,
and kiſſes ſoft and many
(illegible text)s up and down Tiftie's den,
where the burn runs clear and bouny.
I've often gone to meet my love,
my bouny Andrew Lammie.

But now alas! her father heard,
that the trumpeter of Fyvie,
Had the art to gain the heart,
of Tiftie's bonny Annie.
Her father ſoon a letter wrote,
and ſent it on to Fyvie,
To tell his daughter was bewitch,
by his ſervant Andrew Lammie.

When Lord Fyvie had this letter read,
O dear! but he was ſorry:
The bonnieſt laſs in Fyvie's land,
is bewitch'd by Andrew Lammie.
