 O wha will I get but Tam Glen!

Yeſtreen at the valentines dealin',

My heart to my mou' gied a ſtén',

For thrice I drew ane without failin',

And thrice it was written, Tam Glen.

For thrice, &c.

The laſt halloween I was waukin'

My droukit ſark ſleeve, as ye ken,

His likeneſs cam up the houſe ſtaukin',

An' the very grey breeks o' Tam Glen

Come counſel, dear Titty, don't tarry;

I'll gi'e you my bonie black hen,

Gin ye will advise me to marry

The lad I love dearly, Tam Glen

Gin ye will, &c.
