A collection of ancient and modern Scottish ballads, etc

And mony was the feather-bed.
That flattered on the faem
And mony was the gude lord's soHj-
That never mair cam hame.
The ladyes wrang then* fingers white^
The maidens tore their hair,
A' for the sake o' their true loves ;
For them they'll see na mair.
O lang, lang may the ladyes sit,
Wi' their fans into their hand.
Before they see Sir Patrick Spens
Come sailing to the strand
And lang, lang may the maidens sit,
Wi' their goud kaims in their hair,
A' waiting for their ain dear loves
For them they'll see na mair.
Half owre, half owre to Aberdour,
It's fifty fathom deep.
And there lies gude Sir Patrick SpenSj,
Wi' the Scots lords at his feet.
