SONGS.



Auld Rob Morris.

There's auld Rob Morris that wons in yon glen,
He s the king o' gude fellows and wale o' auld men;
He has gowd in his coffers he has owsen and kine
And ae bonny lassie his darling and mine,

She's fresh as the morning the fairest in May
She's sweet as the e'ening, amnng the new hay,
As blythe and as artless as the lamb on the lea,
And dear to my heart as the light to my ee,

But O she's an heiress auld Robin's a laird,
And my daddie has nought but a cot-house yard;
A wooer like me mauna hope to come speed,
The wounds I must hide that will soon be my dead.
