In groping for my pocket book,
The hook it stript her finger.
Three weeks I've been in Lunnan town;
Living idle, living idle,
Three weeks I've been in Lunnan town,
'Tis time to try to work (illegible text)
I ⟨sold⟩ the ring and got the brass,
I did not play tho silly ⟨ass⟩
But sure I'll toast the Lunnun lass,
When I get back to Yorkshire.
THE BRAES, ABOON BONAW
Wilt thou go my bonny lassie,
Wilt thou go my braw lassie,
Wilt thou go say ay or no,
To the braes aboon Bonaw, lassie.
Though Donald has nae meikle phrase,
Wi' Lellan speechen fine, lassie,
What he'll impact cores frae the heart,
Say let it be frae thine, lassie.
Wilt thou go my bonny lassie, &c:
Wi' siller ⟨clasp⟩ I'll (illegible text)ck thy waist,
Wi' silken snood thy hair, lassie;
