	viii. JACOBITE                              281
	No. 299. The lovely lass of Inverness. Tune: The lovely lass of Inverness Scots Musical Museum, 1796, No, 401.
	The lovely lass of Inverness, Nae joy nor pleasure can she see; For e'en to morn she cries, * alas !' And ay the saut tear blin's her e'e :— • Drumossie Moor, Drumossie day— A waefu' day it was to me ! For there I lost my father dear, My father dear and brethren three. 'Their winding-sheet the bluidy clay, Their graves are growin green to see, And by them lies the dearest lad That ever blest a woman's e'e. Now wae to thee, thou cruel lord, A bluidy man I trow thou be, For monie a heart thou hast made sair That ne'er did wrang to thine or thee.'
