Willie was a wanton wag, The blythest lad that e'er I saw, At bridals still he bore the brag, And carried ay the gree awa. His doublet was of Zetland shag, And wow! but Willie he was blaw, And at his shouther hang a tag, That pleas'd the lasses best of a'.

He was a man without a clag, His heart was frank without a flaw; And ay whatever Willie said, It still was hadden as a law. His boots they were made of the jag. When the went to the Weaponshaw, Upon the green nave durst him brag, The fight a ane amang them a'.

And wasna Willie weel worth gowd? He wan the love of great and sma'; For after he the bride had kiss'd, He kiss'd the lasses hale sale a'. Sae merrily round the ring they row'd,
