SANDY O'ER THE LEE.
TvsE— Sandy o'er the lee.
1 wiNNA marry oiiy man but Sandy ower the lee,
I winna marry ony man but Sandy ower the lee
I winna hae the dominie, for gude he canna be
; ; ; ; ;
But I will hae my Sandy lad, my Sandy ower the lee :
For he's aye a-kissing, kissing, aye a-kissing me
He's aye a-kissing, kissing, aye a-kissing me.
I winna hae the minister, for all his godly looks
Nor yet will I the lawyer hae, for a' his wily crooks
I winna hae the ploughman lad, nor yet will I the
miller.
But I will hae my Sandy lad, without a penny siller.
For he's aye a-kissing, &c.
I winna hae the soldier lad, for he gangs to the wars ;
I winna hae the sailor lad, because he smells o' tar
I winna hae the lord, or laird, for a' their meikle gear,
But I will hae my Sandy lad, my Sandy o'er the muir.
For he's aye a-kissing, &c.*
MY LOVE, SHE'S BUT A LASSIE YET.
Tune—My Love is hut a lassie yet.
My love, she's but a lassie yet
My love, she's but a lassie yet ;
I'll let her stand a year or twa
She'll no be half sae saucy yet.
I rue the day I sought hei-, O ;
I rue the day I sought her, O
From Johnson's Scots Musical Museum, Part III., 1790.
