( 2 ) HANDSOME KATIE.

Tune—Sleepy Maggy

Now Winter comes wi’ brtath ae nell,

and nips wi’ frot the gizzen'd gowan,

Yet froty Winter trange to tell

has et my thrawart hear a lowin,

O dearest charming Katie.

O Sweetest winone Katie.

My heart has flown acros the loan,

To dwell wi' my weet neebor Katie.

When a’ the chiels wi’ noes blue,

creep chutetin' roun the cantie ingle,

Thro' leet and naw to Kate I gae.

deawn wi' a whang o' Cupi's* lingle.

O dearet &c.

When our back-ooor I gang to teek,

and bonnie Kate, frae her back winneck,

Gies a bit lee and miling keck

it warms me like a toatedd bannock.

O desret &c.

To leep I try but tie ne'er ae wink:

frae hoples love may fate ay creen us!

I prawl and fidget when

there a noogh bus a wee loan atween us.

O dearest, &c.
