  BANKS OF THE UGIE. Tune—The Bonny Lass of Aberdeen.

As walking forth to view the plains,

and to recreate myelf a while,

When every thing appear'd o gay,

made me forget mv daily toil.

So wander'd I, and did epy

Brave Ugies Streams run mooth & clear,

I walked along and ung a ong,

for the abence of my dearet dear.

2

Her abence then made me make moan,

into the haughs of Rora weet,

For I thought long to be alone,

I long'd my weetheart for to meet.

Thus as I mourn'd, myelf I turn'd

to view the braes that was o high,

I pyed my las, on the green gras,

and wiftly he was drawing nigh.

3 And then with joy my pirits mov'd,

when e'er I aw her lovely face,

'Twas only he I could have lov'd,

in rapture I did her thus addres,

I aid, my dear, if you'll come here,

thee treams o weet will cherih thee

To peak of love your heart to move,

I hope that we two hall agree.
