"And I brought a half-fou[[80]] o' gude red goud,

"Out o'er the sea wi' me."

"Make ready, make ready, my merrymen a'!

"Our gude ship sails the morn."

"Now, ever alake, my master dear,

"I fear a deadly storm!

"I saw the new moon, late yestreen,

"Wi' the auld moon in her arm;

"And if we gang to sea, master,

"I fear we'll come to harm."
