 To go and meet this bonny lad;

The tears stood in her eyes;

But when she came to him, she cry‘d,

You've got my maiden-head,

This brat has brought my shame to light,

When will you with me wed?

With that Jockey he did alight,

And with a sweet embrace,

He said to her, my dearest dear,

To-morrow in this place,

If you'll be sure to meet me here,

We to the kirk will hie,

And there, my dear, the marriage-knot

In love we then will tie.

Then with a kiss they both did part,

And met again next day,

They both were marry‘d after that,

And home they went their way.

Unto a house, whereas that day

In joy and mirth was spent,

Thus Jenny she was made a wife,

Unto her heart's content.
