Page:New way of woo'd & marry'd & a'.pdf/4

 Sae lang's ye hae youoith and vigour

and little anes and debt keep awa'. &c

Sae swithe awa' hame to your handing,

mair fool than when ye came awa';

Ye maunna be ilka day wedding,

nor gang sae clean finger'd and braw.

But mind wi a neibour yon' e yoked,

and' that ye your end o't maun draw,

Or else ye deserve to be docked;

sae that is an answer for a'&c.

Young lucky she fan hersell nither'd,

and wistna well what gate to dra',

But now wi' hersell she consider'd,

that hame was the best gate awa';

And e'en tak her chance o' the landing,

however tue matter shou'd fa',

Fouk needna on freets to be standing

that's woo'd and married and a',&c.





Y lodging is on the cold ground,

and very hard is my fare,

But that which grieves me more; love,

is the coldness of my dear.

Chor- Yet still she cry'd turn, love,

I pray thee, love, turn to me,

For thou art the only girl, love,

that is ador’d by me.
