47 'Ye will take up my little young son,
And wash him wi the milk;
And ye'll take up my gay lady,
And row her in the silk.
48 'Be favourable to my lady,
Be favourable, if ye may;
Her kirking and her fair wedding
Shall baith stand on ae day.
49 'There is not here a woman living
But her shall be my bride,
And all is for the fair speeches
I got frae her at Clyde.'
