Poor lass! her love had proved untrue,

He'd play'd a traitor's part,

He'd taen another for his bride,

An' broke a trustin heart."

Her doleful story sooin wor known,

An' monny a tear wor shed;

They took her hooam an' had her laid,

Upon her humble bed;

Shoo'd nawther kith nor kin to come

Her burial fees to pay;
