LOWLAND WILLIE
When e'er the downs at early day,
My lowland Willie hired him,
With joy I drove my cows that way,
In milking to abide him.

'Twas o'er the downs he first began,
To tell how well he lov'd me;
Could I refuse the charming man?
Ah! no, his passion mov'd me.

My Willie's love to me is joy,
I own it soon, believe me,
To kirk I'll hae wi' my bonny boy,
For he will ne'er deceive me.
