409
I winna gang back to my mammy again
196
I winna lo'e the laddie
306
I winna sing o' bluidy deeds
252
I wish I were where Helen lies
227
I would I were the light fern growing
381
If doughty deeds my lady please
18
If my dear wife should chance to gang
569
If on earth there is enjoyment
268
† Ilk ane now-a-days brags awa' 'bout his dear

I'll lo'e thee, Annie, while the dew
181
I'll mak' a fire upo' the knowe
379
I'll ne'er forget yon bonnie glen
317
I'll sing of an auld forbear of my ain
510
I'll sing of yon glen o' red heather
155
I'll tend thy bower, my bonnie May
495
I'll twine a wreath
329
I'll wake it no more
383
I'm jilted, forsaken, outwitted
411
† I'm naebody now, though in days that are gane
282
I'm now a gude farmer, I've acres o' land
94
† I'm wand'ring wide this wintry night
142
I'm wearing awa', Jean
91
† In a cozie white cottage upon a hill side
127
In a saft simmer gloamin'
384
In airy dreams fond fancy flies
404
In ancient times as songs rehearse
454
In April, when primroses paint the sweet plain
314
In coming by the brig o' Dye
529
In Flora's train the graces wait
194
In January last
522
In life's gay morn—when hopes beat high
376
† In life's sunny morning, by Esk's winding stream
231
In Scotland there lived a humble beggar
443
In summer, when the fields were green
376
In summer when the hay was mawn
283
In the garb of old Gaul, with the fire of old Rome
426
In the land of Fife there lived a wicked wife
570
In the Nick o' the Balloch lived Muirland Tam
57
In winter, when the rain rain'd cauld
91
In yon garden fine and gay
530
Is there for honest poverty
234
Is your war-pipe asleep and for ever
542
It fell about the Martinmas time
92
It fell on a day and a bonnie summer day
545
It fell on a morning whan we were thrang
18
It is na, Jean, thy bonnie face
490
† It stretches o'er the castle-burn, whar three farms march
471
It was at a wedding near Tranent
506
It was Dunois, the young and brave
90
It was in and about the Martinmas time
412
It was upon a Lammas night
166
It's dowie in the hint o' hairst
134
It's I ha'e seven braw new gouns
101
It's no that thou'rt bonnie
163
It's rare to see the morning bleeze
396
† It's true, frien's, it's true
97
I've been upon the moonlit deep
268
I've heard the lilting, at our yowe-milking
368
† I've loved thee, love, lang, I've loved thee, love, deep
471
I've seen the lily of the wold
401
I've seen the smiling of Fortune beguiling
368
I've spent my time in rioting
346
I've wander'd east, I've wander'd west
