Gin i were a baron's heir |
|
And could i braid wi' gems your hair |
|
And make ye braw as ye are fair |
|
Lassie would ye lo'e me? |
|
And i would take ye tae the toon |
|
And show ye braw sicchts mony an ane |
|
And busk ye wi' a silken goon |
|
Lassie would ye lo'e me? |
|
Or should ye be content to prove |
|
In lowly life unfading love |
|
A heart that nought on earth could move |
|
Lassie would ye lo'e me? |
|
And ere the lavrock wings the sky |
|
Say would ye tae the forest high |
|
And work wi' me sae merrily |
|
Lassie would ye lo'e me? |
|
And when the braw moon glistens o'er |
|
Oor wee bit bield and heathery muir |
|
Will ye nay greet that we're sae puir |
|
Lassie for i lo'e ye? |
|
For i hae naught tae offer ye |
|
Nae gowd frae mine nae pearl frae sea |
|
Nor am i come o' high degree |
|
Lassie but i lo'e ye |
