 The other night I got uch fright,. I bles'd from all evil, When a lady came in shining robes, I thought it was the Devil!

With a cap more high than granad and hair dret in uch order She appeared like weet Marg’ret’s ghof Coin’d from the Stygian border.

With ilken hoe, and fine pink shoes, they are all trim’d and ready ; It is not eay for to know a codgie by a lady.

There’s laes bright turns out at night, their ign is a white apron ; All in the dark to eek a park, and wha but our Mis Kathrine.

Some laes then, I do offend, in telling of your knavery, For that’s the way, I’m bold to fay, that you’ve won all your bravery,

The roving maids of Aberdeen, when they go to the dancing, The young men all admire the port. they are o neat and handome.
