O I HAE LOST MY SILKEN SNOOD.

O I hae lost my silken snood, That tied my hair so yellow, I’ve gie’n my heart to the lad,I loed, He was a gallant fellow. And twine it weel my bonny dow, And twine it wee! the plaldeo* The lassie lost her silken snood, In pu’ing o’ the bracken.

He prais’d my e’en sae bonny blue, Sae lily white my skin, O, And svne he prie’d my bonnie mou’, And swore it was nae sip, O. And twine it weel, ray bon me dow, And twine it weel the plaiden ; The lassie lost her silken snood. In pu’ing o’ the bracken,

But he has left the lass he loo’d, His ain true love forsaken,
