A burn was clear, a glen was green,
Upon the banks they eased their shanks,
And aye she set the wheel between:
But Duncan swore a haly aith, holy oath
That Meg should be a bride the morn;
Then Meg took up her spinnin' graith, implements
And flung them a' out o'er the burn. across
We will big a wee, wee house, build
And we will live like King and Queen,
