‘Ye may marry me to Saltoun before that I go home,

But it is to Lord Saltoun I’ll never bear a son;

A son nor a daughter I’ll never bear to he,

An I never will forsake him Young Annochie.’

‘All you that is her maidens, ye’ll tak her by the han,

An I will inheft her o five thousan poun;

She’ll wear silk to her heel and gowd to her knee,

An I’ll cause her to forsake him Young Annochie.’
