Till even in at the Jew’s window,

He gart the bonny ba’ flee.

‘Cast out the ba’ to me, fair maid,

Cast out the ba’ to me;’

‘Never a bit,’ says the Jew’s daughter,

’Till ye come up to me.’

‘Come up, sweet Hugh! come up, dear Hugh!

Come up and get the ba’;’

‘I winna come, I minna come,

Without my bonny boys a’.’
