The other night I got such a fright,
I bless'd me from all evil?
When a lady came in shining robes,
I thought it was the devil.
With a cap more high then granadiers,
and hair drest in fine order,
She appeared like sweet Margarets ghost
Come from the stygian border.
With silkin hose and fine pink shoes,
they are all teim'd and ready,
It is not easy for to know,
a scodgie by a lady.
There's lasses bright, turns out at night
their sign is a white apron?
All in the dark to seek a spark,
and wha but our Miss Katherine.
Some lasses then I do offend,
in telling of their knavery,
For that's the way I'm bold to say,
that you've won all your bravery.
The roving maids of Edinburgh,
when they go to the dancing,
