And we’re a’ gaun, &c.

Frae Seton’s Land a countess fair looked owre a window hie,

And pined to see the genty shape of bonnie Mally Lee.

And we’re a’ gaun, &c.

And when she reached the palace porch, there lounged erls three;

And ilk ane thought his Kate or Meg a drab to Mally Lee.

And we’re a’ gaun, &c.

The dance gaed through the palace ha’, a comely sight to see;

But nane was there sae bright or braw as bonnie Mally Lee.

And we’re a’ gaun, &c.
