The guilt appear'd on Jamie's cheek,
He cry'd, O cruel maid, but sweet,
If I should gang another gate,
I ne'er could meet my dawtie.
He cry'd, O cruel maid, but sweet,
If I should gang another gate,
I ne'er could meet my dawtie.
The lasses fast frae him they flew,
And left poor Jamie fair to rue,
That ever Maggie's face he knew,
Or yet ca'd Bess a gawkie.
And left poor Jamie fair to rue,

Or yet ca'd Bess a gawkie.
As they went o'er the moor they sang,
The hills and dales with echoes rang,
The hills and dales with echoes rang,
Gan o'er the moor to Maggie.
The hills and dales with echoes rang,
The hills and dales with echoes rang,
Gan o'er the moor to Maggie.

TOM STARBOARD.
Tom Starboard was a lover true,
as brave a tar as ever sail'd;
The duties ablest seamen do,
Tom did, and never yet had fail'd.
But wreck'd, as he was homeward bound,
within a leagne of England's coast,
Love sav'd him sure from being drown'd,
for all the crew but Tom were lost!
