For that‘s the very laſſie I liked ſo well.
O ſhepherd! ſure threat'nings are very unmanly
She'll paſs for a virgin with any but you,
Your welcome to wed her and free to enjoy her,
For I ſee unto me you have not proved true.
O no, you deluder, I will not deceive thee,
Then wed her I ſooner would put out her breath;
For if that I had her when the fury is on me,
With this hazel rung I would finiſh you baith
O my dear Jamie with patience look round you,
I fear that true love has blinded your een.
O my dear Jamie with patience look round you,
You ken not the voice nor the looks of your Jean.
O my dear Jeanie! why did you teaze me?
I'll no be myſel theſe eight days and mair,
Come into my arms before I forgive you,
And gies a‘ the kiſſes you‘re able to ſpare.
O Jamie I thought that your mind had been changed,
It‘s thirty lang weeks ſince I ſaw you & twa.
I borrow‘d this clothing from one of our neighbours;
I was not a mind ye ſud ken me ava.
Now he‘s wed on his ain Jeannie,
And now they do live at the hill of Traquire,
Now he is wed on his ain lovely Jeannie,
The langer he kens her he likes her the mair
