Roy's wife of Alldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Alldivalloch,
Wat ye how she cheated me
As I came o'er the braes of Balloch?

She vow'd, she swore she wad be mine;
She said she lo'ed me best of ony.
But oh! the fickle, faithless quean,
She's ta'en the carle and left her Johnie.
Roy's wife, &c.

O she was a canty quean!
Well could she dance the Highland walloch;
How happy I, had she been mine,
Or I'd been Roy of Alldivalloch.
Roy's wife, &c.

Her hair sae fair, her een sae clear,
Her wee bit mou' so sweet and bonnie;
To me she ever will be dear,
Tho' she's for ever left her Johnie.
Roy's wife, &c.
