Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch.

Roy's wife of Aldivalloeh,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloeh,
Ken ye how she eheated me,
As I cam by the braes o' Balloch.

She vow'd, she swore she would be mine,
And swore she lo'd me best of ony,
But Oh! the fickle, faithless quean,
She's ta'en the earle and left her Johnnie.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, &c.
But Oh! the fickle, faithless quean,
She's ta'en the carle and left her Johnnie.

Aye she was a canty quaen,
And weel could dance a highland walloch,
Happy I, had she been mine,
Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, &c
Happy I, had she been mine,
Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch.

He face sae fair, her e'en sae clear,
Her wee bit mou' was aye sae bonny,
To me she ever shall prove dear,
Tho' she's for ever left her Johnnie.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, &c.
To me she ever shall prove dear,
Tho' she's for ever left her Johnny.
