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

LAIRD OF DRUM.
The Laird o' Drum is a-wooing gane,
It was on a morning early,
And he has fawn in wi' a bonnie may
A-shearing at her barley.
" My bonnie may, my weel-faur'd may,
will ye fancy me, O
And gae and be the Lady o' Drum,
And lat your shearing abee, O.
" It's I canna fancy thee, kind sir,
1 winna fancy thee, O,
I winna gae and be Lady o' Drum,
And lat my shearing abee, O.
