6 My titty Mary said to me,

Our courtship but a joke wad be,

Aad I, or lang, be made to see

That Robin didna lo'e me

But little kens she what has been,

Me and my honest Rob between,

And in his wooing, O sae keen,

Kind Robin is that lo'es me.

Then flee, ye lazy hours away,

And hasten round the happy day,

When "join your hands," Mess John shall say,

And mak him mine that lo’es me.





Young William.

Young William was a seamen true,

The darling of our bonny crew,

For blythe was he and kind;

For though no lagging lubber he,

Right loth he was to go to sea,

For Jane he left behind.

And Jenny lov’d, but all by stealth,

Her father had much store of wealth,

Of Will he would not hear;
