Sae cunningly's I trysted her Unto yon shade o' broom; ■And syne I took my wills o' her,
And then I flang her doun, 20
And it's for mine offence I must die.
" Sae cunningly's I killed her, "Who should have been my wife ;
Sae cursedly's I killed her, •
And with my cursed knife; 25
Sae cursedly's I killed her,
"Who should have been my wife, And it's for mine offence I must die.
" Six days she lay in murder,
Before that she was found ; 30
Six days she lay in murder,
Upon the cursed ground ; Six days she lay in murder,
Before that she was found, And it's for mine offence I must die. 3»
" 0 all the neighbours round about,
They said it had been I; I put my foot on gude shipboard,
The county to defy; The ship she wadna sail again, a
But hoisted to and fro, And it's for mine offence I must die. |
