YOUNG PEGGY
Whaur hae ye been, Peggy
Whaur hae ye been?
In the garden `mong the gillyflooers
`Tween the hours o` twelve and ane
Ye were nae yoursel`, Peggy
No` there your lane
Your faither saw ye in Jamie`s arms
`Tween the hours o` twelve and ane
Whit though we were seen, mither
Though we were seen?
I would sleep in Jamie`s airms
Though his grave was growing green
Your Jamie`s a rogue, Peggy
Your Jamie`s a loon
For the trysting o` oor ae dochter
And her sae very young
Jamie`s noo tae blame, mither
The blame lies on me
For I wad sleep in Jamie`s airms
Though a` the world should dee
She`s gane tae her ain chaulmer
Jamie was there
I`m blithe tae see ye, Jamie dear
Though we maun meet nae mair
We`ll tak` a pairtin` glass, laddie
Pour oot the wine
And since we maun meet nae mair, my love
We`ll drink your health and mine
Tak` me in your airms, laddie
Here`s kisses five
And since we maun meet nae mair, my love
We`ll drink weel may we thrive
Come tae my airms, lassie
Close tae me hairt
And as lang`s the sun hangs i` the lift
I swear we`ll niver part
Your faither keeps a crawin` cock
Divides nicht frae day
And in the middle watch o` the nicht
In greenwood ye`ll meet me
When mass was sung and bell were rung
And a` bound for bed
She`s kilted up her gay clothing
Met Jamie in the wood
`Twas early in the morning
The clock chappit twa
Her faither rose up in his bed
Cryin` Peggy, she`s awa
They`ve mounted their horses
And fast they did rin
But lang e`er they wan tae the tap o` the hill
The lad and lass were ane
Child #298
