They kiest kevels them amang,
Wha wou'd to the grenewood gang.
5 The kevels they gied thro' the ha',
And on the youngest it did fa'.
Now she must to the grenewood gang,
To pu' the nuts in grenewood hang.
She hadna tarried an hour but ane,
10 Till she met wi' a highlan' groom.
He keeped her sae late and lang,
Till the evening set, and birds they sang.
He ga'e to her at their parting,
A chain o' gold, and gay gold ring:
15
And three locks o' his yellow hair:
Bade her keep them for evermair.
When six lang months were come and gane,
A courtier to this lady came.
Lord Dingwall courted this lady gay,
20 And so he set their wedding-day.
