3 I lock'd her in my fond embrace;

Her heart was beating rarely:

My blessings on that happy place,

Amang the rigs o' barley!

But by the moon and stars so bright,

That shone that hour so clearly!

She ay shall bless that happy night

Amang the rigs o' barley!

Corn rigs, &c.

I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear;

I hae been merry drinking;

I hae been joyfu' gath'ring gear;

I hae been happy thinking:

But a' the pleasures e'er I saw,

Tho' three times doubled fairly,

That happy night was worth them a'

Amang the rigs o' barley.

Corn rigs, &c.

Lassie wi' the raven locks,

Charming lassie, Highland lassie;

Gladly wad I tend thy flocks,

Bonnie Highland Mary, O.
