"If ye'll call at the Canongate port,
At the Canongate port call on me,
I'll give you a bottle o' sherry,
And bear you companie."
He ca'd at the Canongate port,25
At the Canongate port called he;
She drank wi' him a bottle o' sherry,
And bore him guid companie.
"Will ye go to the Hielands, bonnie Lizzie,
Will ye go to the Hielands wi' me?30
If ye'll go to the Hielands, bonnie Lizzie,
Ye shall not want curds nor green whey."
In there cam' her auld mither,
A jolly auld lady was she—
"I wad like to ken whar she was ganging,35
And wha she was gaun to gang wi'."
"My name is young Donald M'Donald,
My name I will never deny,
My father he is an auld shepherd,
Sae weel as he can herd the kye!40
"O but I would give you ten guineas,
To have her one hour in a room,
To get her fair body a picture
To keep me from thinking long."
"O I value not your ten guineas,45
As little as you value mine;
But if that you covet my daughter,
Take her with you, if you do incline."
"Pack up my silks and my satins,
And pack up my hose and my shoon,50
And likewise my clothes in small bundles,
And away wi' young Donald I'll gang."
They pack'd up her silks and her satins,
They pack'd up her hose and her shoon,
And likewise her clothes in small bundles,55
And away with young Donald she's gane.
