Page:Old Scotch ballad of Andrew Lammie, or, Mill of Tifty's Annie (2).pdf/5

Rh Thou mayest come to the Brig of Shigh, And there I’ll come and meet thee; It’s there we will renew our love Before I go and leave you.

My love I go to Edinburgh town, And for a while must leave thee; She sighed sore, and said no more. But a wish that I were with you.

I will be true and constant too, To thee, my Andrew Lammie, But my bridal bed will then be made. In the green church-yard of Fyvie.

The time is gone and now comes on. My dear, that I must leave thee— If longer here I should appear. Mill of Tifty he would see me.

I’ll buy to thee a bridal gown, My love I’ll buy it bonny— But I’ll be dead ere ye come back To see your bonny Annie.

If ye’ll be true and constant too. As I am Andrew Lammie, I shall ye wed when I come back To see the lands of Fyvie.

I now for ever bid adieu To thee, my Andrew Lammie, Ere ye come back I will be laid In the green church-yard of Fyvie.
