Jamie hadna been awa a twelvemonth and a day When my father brak his arm, and our cow was stown away My mither she fell sick, and my Jamie at the sea, When Auld Robin Gray cam a courting me. My father couldna work, and my mither couldna spin; I toiled day and night, but their bread I couldna win: Auld Rob maintained them baith, and, wi’ tears in his ee, Said, Jeanie, for their sakes, O marry me!
