The lassie blush'd^ and frowning, cried " No, no, it
will not do
I cannot, cannot^ wonnot, wonnot, mannot buckle too."
Jockey was a wag that never would wed,
Though long he had followed the lass ;
Contented she earned and eat her brown bread,
And merrily turn'd up the grass.
Bonny Jockey, blythe and free.
Won her heart right merrily :
Yet still she blush'd, and frowning cried, " No, no, it
will not do ;
I cannot, cannot, wonnot, wonnot, mannot buckle too."
But when he vow'd he would make her his bride.
Though his flocks and herds were not few,
She gave him her hand, and a kiss beside,
And vow'd she'd for ever be true.
Bonny Jockey, blythe and free,
Won her heart right merrily :
At church she 'no more frowning cried, " No, no, it
will not do
I cannot, cannot, wonnot, wonnot, mannot buckle too."*
O !
JEANIE, THERE'S NAETHING TO
FEAR YE.
HOGG,
Tune—SZm^ Bonnets over the Border,
O ! MY lassie, our joy to complete again,
Meet me again in the gloamin, my dearie :
Low down in the dell let us meet again
O ! Jeanie, there's naetbing to fear ye :
