He hath taken her by the left shoulder,

Says, Dame where lies thy dowry?

‘O it’s east and west yon wan water side,

And it’s down by the banks of the Airlie.’

They hae sought it up, they hae sought it down,

They hae sought it maist severely,

Till they fand it in the fair plumb-tree

That shines on the bowling-green of Airlie.
