'And wha has loosed her left-foot shee,
And lotten that ladie lighter be?'
39
O Willie has loosed the nine witch knots
That was amo that ladie's locks.
40
And Willie's taen out the kaims o care
That hang amo that ladie's hair.
41
And Willie's taen down the bush o woodbine
That hang atween her bower and thine.
42
And Willie has killed the master kid
That ran beneath that ladie's bed.
43
And Willie has loosed her left-foot shee,
And letten his ladie lighter be.
44
And now he's gotten a bonny young son,
And mickle grace be him upon.
