Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch.

Roy's wife, of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Wat ye how ſhe cheated me.
As I came o'er the braes o' Balloch?

She vow'd, ſhe ſwore ſhe wad be mine;
ſhe faid ſhe loved me beſt of ony;
But oh! the fickle, faithleſs quean.
ſhe's ta en the Cart, and left her Johnie.

O ſhe was a canty quean,
and weel cou'd dance the Highland walloch;
How happy I, had ſhe been mine,
or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch!
Roy's wife, &c.

Her hair ſae fair, her een ſae clear,
her wee bit mou ſo ſweet and bonny!.
To me ſhe ever will be dear,
tho ſhe's for ever left her Johnie.
Roy's wife, &c.

FINIS.
