First when Maggie was my care, Heav'n, I thought, was in her air; Now we're married, spier nae mair,
But whistle o'er the lave o't! Meg was meek, and Meg was mild, Sweet and harmless as a child— Wiser men than me's beguiled—
Whistle o'er the lave o't.
How we live, my Meg and me, How we love, and how we gree, I care na by how few may see—
Whistle o'er the lave o't! Wha I wish were maggots' meat, Dish'd up in her winding sheet, I could write—but Meg maun see't—>
Whistle o'er the lave o't. |
