JOHNIE OF COCKLESMUIR. Johnie rose up in a May morning, Call'd for water to wash his hands; And he has call'd for his gude gray hunds, That lay bund in iron bands, bands, That lay bund in iron bands. "Ye'll busk*, ye'll busk, my noble dogs, Ye'll busk and mak them bounf For I'm going to the Broadspear-hill, To ding the dun deer doun, doun, To ding the dun deer doun." Whan Johnie's mither heard o' this, She til her son has gane; — * Busk—prepare. f Boun—ready. ,
39 " Ye'll win your mither's benison,* Gin ye wadf stay at hame, hame, Gin ye wad stay at hame. Your meat sail be of the very, very best, And your drink o' the finest wine; And ye will win your mither's benison, Gin ye wad stay at hame, hame, Gin ye wad stay at hame. His mither's counsel he wad na tak, Nor wad he stay at hame; But he's on to the Broadspear-hill, To ding the dun deer doun, doun, To ding the dun deer doun. Johnie lookit east, and Johnie lookit west, And a little below the sun; And there he spied the dun deer sleeping, Aneath a buss o' brume, brume, Aneath a buss o' brume:}:. * Mither's benison—mother's blessing. \ Wad—would. \ Suss o' brume—bush of broom.
