Sae did she by the corn,

She had na' seen him, Erl Richard,

Since Moninday at morn.

"Put na the wite on me," she said;

"It was my may Catherine."

Then they hae cut baith fern and thorn,

To burn that maiden in.

It wadna take upon her cheik,

Nor yet upon her chin;

Nor yet upon her yellow hair,
