(8)
So what though I lost my leg,
It seem'd to fortune mend;
And though forc'd dy'e see, to beg,
I gain'd a wife and friend.
Here's the king, Old England, Poll,
My shipmate just come back,
Then laugh and sing tol de rol lol,
And pray remember Jack.
Braw Lass of Cala water,
BRAW, braw lass of Gala water,
Bonie lass of Gala water,
O I wade wide the stream sae deep,
For you, braw lass of Gala water.
Fair her hair, a' brent her brow,
Sae bonnie blue, her een an' chearie,
The mair I kiss her cherry lips,
The mair I wish her for my dearie.
O'er yon bank, an' o'er yon brae,
Thro' a' the mossy muir an heather,
o I wad rin wi' heart sea light,
Wi' my dear lassie to forgether.
Bonie lass of Gala water,
Braw braw lass of Gala water,
The glentine that fills my e'e
Is you, braw lass of Gala water.
FINIS.
