 With blankets bra' and sheets sae sma',

I wat I'll mak it fine Willy;

And you shall get to your supper,

a cup of claret wine Willy.

And I'll throw aff my gown of black,

put on a gown of green Willy,

Then you and I will take a walk

with the light of the moon Willy:

But if my mistress chance to see,

right angry wad she be Willy,

That I would introduce myself

into your company Willy.

For well she'll ken by your clothing,

you are a stout dragoon Willy!

Then she'll be for to put me off,

like any common lown Willy.

My sword and buckler I'll cast off,

hangs low down by my thigh Peggy,

And when I come in suit to thee

my clothing shall be blue Peggy.

There's one thing I do ask of thee,

although it be through force Peggy;

There's one thing I do ask of thee,

to see me to my horse Peggy.

O I will see you to your horse,

but my heart will be sair Willy,

O I will see you to your horse,

but ne'er will see you mair Willy.

For in the sky there I did spy,

a comet that was fair Willy,
