11Now wat ye wha I met yestreen,Now wat ye wha I met yestreen,
22Coming down the street, my jo?Coming thro' the broom, my jo?
33My mistress in her tartan screen,My mistress, in her tartan screen,
44Fu' bonny, braw, and sweet, my jo.Fu' bonny, braw, and sweet, my jo.
55My dear, quoth I, thanks to the night,My dear, quoth I, thanks to the night,
66That never wish'd a lover ill;That never wish'd a lover ill,
77Since ye're out of your mother's sight,Since ye're out of your mither's sight,
88Let's tak a walk up to the hill.Let's tak a wauk up to the hill.

1010There's up into a pleasant glen,There's up into a pleasant glen,
1111A wee piece frae my father's tow'r,A wee piece frae my father's tow'r,
1212A canny, saft, and flow'ry den,A canny, saft, and flow'ry den,
1313Where circling birks have formed a bow'r:Where circling birks have form'd a bow'r;
1414Whene'er the sun grows high and warm,Whene'er the sun grows high and warm,
1515We'll to that caller shade remove,We'll to that cauler shade remove;
1616There will I lock thee in mine arm,There will I lock thee in my arms,
1717And breathe the tender tale of love.And love and kiss, and kiss and love.
