CLVI
THE YELLOW-HAIRED LADDIE |
|||
 |

|
The weather is cauld, and my cleadin' is thin, The ewes are new clipp'd, they winna bught in ; They winna bught in, although I should dee, O yellow-hair'd laddie, be kind unto me. They winna bught in, &c.
The guid-wife cries but the house " Jenny come ben, The cheese is to mak, and the butter's to kirn;" Though butter and cheese and a' should go sour, I'll crack wi' my love for another half hour, Ae half hour, and will e'en mak it three, For the yellow-hair'd laddie my husband shall be.
Chambers. From the Tea Table Miscellany. |
