Ancient Scottish ballads, recovered from tradition, and never before ...

1G4
He lichted aff his hie, hie, horse,
And he set the bonnie may on;
—
" Now caw* out your kye gudefather,f
Ye maun caw them out your lane.
For lang will ye caw them out,
And weary will ye be,
Or ye get your dochter again,
That was aye dear to thee.
He was the Laird o' Ochiltree,
Of thirty ploughs ami three,
And he has stown awa the bonniest may
In a' the south countrie.
Caw—drive. f Gudefather—father-in-law.
