Sae stately she steppit down the stair,
And walkit to meet him coming;
Said, O ye’r welcome, my bonny lord,
Ye’r thrice welcome home from London!

‘If this be so that ye let me know,
Ye’ll come kiss me for my coming,
For the morn should hae been my bonny wedding-day
Had I stayed the night in London.’
