A BONNIE laddie brisk and gay,

A handsome youth sae brisk and gaddie;

And he is on to Glasgow town,

To steal awa' his bonnie Peggy.

When he came into Glasgow town,

Upon her father's green sao steady;

"Come forth, come forth, old man," he says,

“ For I am come for bonnie Peggy."

Out it spake her father then,

"Begone from me, ye Highland laddie ;

There's nane in a' the west country

Dare steal from me my bonnie Peggy."

"I've ten young men all at my back,

That ance to me were baith true and steady;

If ance I call, they'll soon be nigh,

And bring to me my bonnie Peggy."

Out it spake her mother then,

Dear but sho spake wond'rous saucy;

Says, "Ye may steal my cow or ewe,

But I'll keep sight o' my ain lassie."
