Mourn, hapless Caledonia, mourn,
My Chloris, mark how gi'een the groves.
My daddie is a cankert carle,
My daddie left me gear eneuch,
My dear and only love, I pray,
My father has forty good shillings.
My Harry was a gallant gay.
My heart is a-breaking, dear titty,
My heart is sair— I daurna tell.
My heart's in the Highlands,
My lady's goAvn there's gairs upon't.
My love's bonnie, bonnie, bonnie.
My love he's built a bonnie ship.
My loA^e he's built a bonnie bouir,
My love's in Germanie,
My love is but a lassie yet.
My love vi^as born in Aberdeen,
My mother's aye glowring ower me,
My name is Bauldy Frazer, man.
My name it is Donald Macdonald,
My Patie is a lover gay, .
My Peggie is a young thing.
My sheep I neglected—I lost my sheep-hook
My soger laddie is owev the sea.
My sweetest May, let love incline thee
My wife's a wanton wee thing,
Nancy's to the greenwood gane,
Nith, trembling to the reaper's sang,
No churchman am I, for to rail and to write
No more my song shall be, ye swains,
November winds blaw loud and shrill,
Novs^ in her green mantle blythe Nature arrays,
Now nature hangs her mantle green, .
Now rosy May comes in with flowers.
Now there's peace on the shore .
Now the sun's gane out o' sight.
Now wat ye wha I met yestreen,
Now westlin winds and slaughtering guns,
O, an ye were deid, gudeman, .
O, are ye sleepin', Maggie,
O, as I was kist yestreen,
O ay, my wife she dang me,
