Rh O lady fair, come along with me, And thy true love thou soon shalt see; And for thy sake a vow I’ll make, A single man no more he’ll be.”

Willie Graeme was called then His own true love once more to see; And when he saw her weel-faured face The tears o’ joy did blin’ his e’e.

“You’re welcome here, ray dearest dear, You are thrice welcome unto me; For there’s nae a face so fu’ o’ grace In a’ the land o’ Germanie,”

Wi’ kisses sweet the lovers met Most joyfullie, as we are told; She’s changed his dress from the worsted lace To the crimson scarlet trimmed wi’ gold.

But when her parents came to know That their daughter abroad had gone, They sent a letter on express, To call these two fond lovers home.

To Willie went a free discharge, All for the sake o’ lady Jean; And now they live in sweet content, Into the shire o’ Aberdeen.
