HE first time that I did thee see,

it was in Aberdeen Peggy,

O meckmeek [sic] and lovely was thy face,

and douse grey was thy een Peggy;

With stockings green and coal black shoon,

as you walk on the street Peggy;

And your behaviour day and night,

does daily me invite Peggy.

I first did ask where you did dwell,

and then I ask'd your name Peggy

And though the night were ne'er sae dark,

I will go see you hame Peggy.

My father he's a laird, a laird,

he is a laird of land Peggy,

And I myself a brisk dragoon,

as in all our command Peggy.

My father he's a lord, a lord,

he is a lord of state Peggy,

Your friends may not be discontent,

though you walk with me late Peggy.

But when shall we two meet again?

when now it's grown so late Peggy?

To morrow night at ten o'clock,

I'll meet you at the gate Willy.

Although the night were ne'er so dark,

and dinging on of rain Willy,

You need not fear you'll want a bed,

you'll get a share of mine Willy.
