29 When ye gang to yon braw, braw town,

And bonnier lasses see,

0, Jamie ! dinna look at them,

Lest ye should mind na me :

For I could never bide the lass,

That ye'd lo'e mair than me;

And O, I'm sure, my heart would break,

Gin ye'd prove fause to me.



FEE HIM, FATHER, FEE HIM.

Saw ye Johnnie comin', quo' she,

Saw ye Johnnie comin';

Saw ye Johnnie comin', quo' she,

Saw ye Johnnie comin.

Johnnie ye Johnnie comin', quo' she,

Saw ye Johnnie comin'

Wi' his blue bonnet on his head,

And his doggie rinnin', quo' she,

And his doggie rinnin'?

Fee him, father, fee him, quo' she,

Fee him, father, fee him,

Fee him, father, fee him, quo' she,

Fee him, father, him ;

For he is a gallant lad,

And a weel doin';

And a' the 'wark about tho house,

Gaes wi' me when I see him, quo' she,

Wi' me when I see him.

What will I do wi' him, hizzie?

What will I do wi' him?

He's ne'er a sark upon his back,

And I hae nane to gie him.

I hae twa sarks into my kist,

And ane o' them I'll gie him,

And for a merk o' mair fee,

Dinna stand wi' him, quo' she.

Dinna stand wi' him.

For weel do I lo'e him, quo' she,

Weel do I lo'e him ;

For weel do I lo'e him, quo' she,

Weel do I lo'e him.

O fee him, father, fee him, quo' she,

Fee him, father, fee him;

He'll haud the plough, thrash in the harn,

And crack wi' me at e'en, quo' she,

And crack wi' me at e'en.
