tune—“galla water.”
altho' my bed were in yon muir,
amang the heather, in my plaidie;
yet happy, happy would i be,
had i my dear montgomerie's peggy.
when o'er the hill beat surly storms,
and winter nights were dark and rainy;
i'd seek some dell, and in my arms
i'd shelter dear montgomerie's peggy.
were i a baron proud and high,
and horse and servants waiting ready;
then a' 'twad gie o' joy to me,—
the sharin't with montgomerie's peggy.
