(7) For little do the landmen know

the dangers we ſuſtain.

Now to conclude my ditty,

and finiſh out my ſong,

She was as good a ſhip,

as to the king belong'd.

She was well mann'd, as I am told.

to face her enemy

But ſhe did ſtrike on Swilly rock,

which prov'd her deſtiny.

O tell me the way for to Woo.

O tell me my bonny young lassie,

O tell me the way for to woo;

O tell me my bonny ſweet laſſie

O tell me the way for to woo.

By, maun I rooſe your red cheeks like the morning,

lips like the roſe when it's moiſten'd wi' dew,

and ſay maun I rooſe your een's pauky ſcorning:

O tell ne dear laffie the way for to woo.

far haę I wauder'd, dear lassie,

to ſee thee I've ſail'd the ſalt ſea,

I've travel'd o'er muirlands and mountains,

and houſeleſs lain cauld on the lea,

never hae tryd yet to mak love to ony,
