It appear'd so high into the sky,
it light'ned a' the air Willy.
O clock-work is a curious work,
diverting is the bell Willy.
I'm like a drop fall'n to the ground,
but fine gold is yoursell Willy.
O will you go along with me,
and be to me a wife Peggy?
I'll make a vow and keep it true;
you'll live an easy life Peggy.
If I should go along with you
and be to thee a wife Willy,
O all your friends wad me disdain,
and that wad cause a strife Willy.
But if I were in Flanders fair
beyond St. Andrew's sea Peggy,
I'd ever keep a single heart,
and keep my love for thee Peggy.
I'll daily deck your yellow hair,
with pomet and with oil Peggy,
You'll wear the ribbons red and white,
when you go to Carlisle Peggy.
I'll buy to you a clock of blue,
the best in a' the town Peggy,
With J. S. and O. S and July flow'rs,
rich diamonds on your gown Peggy.
O Olify is a bonny place.
and there is many a tree Peggy,
And there you'll have your jointure-house,
and a' your land is free Peggy.
