She's ta'en three links of her yellow hair,<br />

That hung down lang <strong>and</strong> yellow.<br />

And she's tied it about sweet Willie's waist.<br />

An' drawn him out of Yarrow.<br />

I made my love a suit of clothes,<br />

I clad him all in tartan.<br />

But ere the morning sun arose<br />

He was a' bluid to the gartan.<br />

Cetera desunt.
