 I whistled, I pip’d, and I sang;

I woo’d but I cam nae great speed:

Therefore I maun wander abroad,

And lay my banes far frae the Tweed,

To Maggy, my love I did tell;

My tears did my passion express:

And the women loo sic a man less.

Her heart it was frozen and cauld,

Her pride had my ruin decreed;

Therefore I maun wander abroad,

And last my banes far frae the Tweed
