Or wha was eer thy mither?
Or wha was eer thy ae sister,

'Queen Elinore was my mither;

And Queen Elinore your mither,
O I am een your ae sister,

But ane shall tak me hame;
Six I will leave to my sister Anne,
To bring up her children young.

And tirl on the pin,
The meanest in a' my father's house
Will ca me a forsaken ane.'
