ROBIN SHURE IN HAERST.
Robin shure in haerst, I shure wi' himFient a heuk had I, yet I stack by him.I gaed up to Duase, to warp awab o' plaidenAt my father's yeat wha met me but Robin?
Was na Robin bauld, be't I was a ⟨Cotter,⟩To play sic a trick, & me the El'er's douchter,Robin shure, &c.
Ribin promis'd me a' my winter's ⟨victuals⟩,Fient a haet had he, but twa trumps and a whistle.Robin shure, &c.
Now I'm Robin's bride, free frae kirk-fo'k bustle;Robin's a' my ain, wi's twa trumps and a whistle.Robin shure, &c.
