 'Twas John kiss'd Dolly, and Dick hiss'd Betty,

And Joe kiss'd Molly, and Dorthy Draggletail,

And Kitty was a charming maid.

To rouse her servant maids and men,

through the craigs o' Kyle,

Amang the bonnie blooming heather,

There I met a bonnie lassie,

Keeping a' her ewes thegither.

O'er the muir amang the heather,

O'er the muir amang the heather

There I met a bonnie lassie

Keeping a' her ewes thegither.

In muir, or dale, pray tell me whither?

Says she, I tend the fleecy flocks

That feed amang the blooming heather

O'er the muir, &c.
