They had na been a night in that bigly bowr,

’Tis not a night but barely ane,

Till there was Willie, her ain true-love,

Rappd at the door, and knew not the gin.

‘Whoe’s this, whoe’s this raps at my bowr-door,

Raps at my bowr-door, and knows not the gin?’

‘O it is Willie, thy ain true-love;

I pray thee rise and let me in.’
