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.
