When, coming frae the hungry hill,
He hears the quernie birlin I
Then loes me, &c.
Though sturt and strife, wi' young and auld.
And flytin but and ben be ;
Let but the quernie play, they'll soon
A' lown and fidgin-fain be.
Then loes me, &c.
THE WREN.
Tune—Lennox' Love to Blantyre,
The wren scho lyes in care's bed,
In care's bed, in care's bed ;
The wren scho lyes in care's bed,
In meikle dule and pyne, O.
When in cam Robin Redbreist,
Redbreist, Redbreist
When in cam Robin Redbreist,
Wi' succar-saps and wine, O.
;
Now, maiden, will ye taste o' this,
Taste o' this, taste o' this ;
Now, maiden, will ye taste o' this ?
It's succar-saps and wine, O.
Na, ne'er a drap, Robin,
Robin, Robin
Na, ne'er a drap, Robin,
Though it were ne'er sae fine, O.
