8 never lov'd ony till ance I lov'd you;

Now we're alane in the green wood ſae bonny,

now tell me dear lassie the way for to woo.

What care I for your wanderings laddie

or yet for your ſailing the ſea?

It was nae for nought ye left Peggy,

my tocher it brought you to me.

An ſay hae ye gowd to busk me ay gaudy,

wi ribbons an' pearlins, an breaſt-knots anew

A houſe that is canty wi pleniſhin plenty,

without them ye teed never come for to woo

I hae nae gowd to buck ye ay gaudy,

nor yet buy you ribbons anow,

I brag nae o houſe nor of plenty,

but I hae a heart that is true;

I came na for tocher, I ne'er heard ony,

never lo'ed Peggy, nor e'er break my vow,

I've wander'd, poor fool, for a face ſause as bonnie:

I little thought this was the way for to woo

Hae na ye roos'd my red cheeks like the morning

an roos'd up my cherry red mou;

Ye've come o'er the ſea, mưir and mountain,

what mair Johnny ned ye to woo ;

An far hae ye wander'd I ken my dear laddies

now ye hae faund me, ye've nae cauſe to run

Wi health we'll hae plenty, I'll never gang gaudy,

I ne'er want'd for mar than a heart that is true
