4 ROY'S WIFE

Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, Roy’s wife of Aldivalloch, Wat ye how she cheated me, As I cam’ o’er the bracs o' Balloch.

She vow’d, she swore she wad be mine, She said she loe’d me best of any; But ah! the saucy fickle quean, She’s taen the Carle and left her Johnie Roy’s wife, &c.

Her hair sae fair her e’en sae clear, Her wee bit mou sae sweet and bonnie, To me she ever will be dear, Tho she’s for ever left her Johnie; Roy's wife, &c.

But O she was a canty quean, An' weel could dance the highland alloch How happy I had she been mine, Or I'd been Roy of Aluivalloch. Roy's wife, &c.
