 And now this gars my heart to bleed

for my dear Gilderoy.

And when of me his leave he took,

the tears they wat mine ee;

I gave tull him a parting look,

"My bennison gang wi’ thee!

Gud-speed thee weel, mine ain dear heart,

for gane is ail my joy;

My heart is rent sith we maun part,

my handsome Gilderoy.

Mv Gilderoy, baith far and near,

was fear’d in ev’ry town,

And bauldly bare awa’ the gear

of many a lawland lonn;

Nane e’er durst meet him man to man,

he was sae brave a boy;

At length wi’ numbers he was tane,

my winsome Gilderoy.

The Queen of Scots possessed nought

that my love let me want;

For cow and ewe he brought to me,

and e’en when they were scant:

All these did honestly possess,

he never did annoy,
