Haf owre, haf owre to Aberdour,

It's fiftie fadom deip,

And thair lies guid Sir Patrick Spence,

Wi' the Scots lords at his feit.

ALLISON GROSS

O Allison Gross, that lives in yon towr,

The ugliest witch i the north country,

Has trysted me ae day up till her bowr,

An monny fair speech she made to me.
