Meg was deaf as Ailsa Craig,
Ha, ha, the wooing o't,
Duncan sigh'd baith out and in,
Grat his een baith bleer't and blin', Wept, eyes both
Spak o' lowpin o'er a linn; leaping, waterfall
Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
Time and chance are but a tide,
Ha, ha, the wooing o't,
Slighted love is sair to bide, sore, endure
Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
