We were a comely sight to see,

My love was clad in black velvet,

And I myself in cramasie.

But had I wist before I kist,

That love had been sae hard to win;

I’d lockt my heart in case of gowd,

And pinn’d it with a siller pin.

And oh! if my poor babe were born,

And set upon the nurse’s knee,

And I mysel in the cold grave!
