Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI JKJLAMAM ANANOPQRNow wat ye wha I met yestreen | A |
Coming down the street my Jo | B |
My mistress in her tartan screen | A |
Fow bonny braw and sweet my Jo | B |
My dear quoth I thanks to the night | C |
That never wish'd a lover ill | D |
Since ye're out of your mither's sight | C |
Let's take a wauk up to the hill | D |
- | |
O Katy wiltu gang wi' me | E |
And leave the dinsome town a while | F |
The blossom's sprouting frae the tree | E |
And a' the summer's gawn to smile | F |
The mavis nightingale and lark | G |
The bleeting lambs and whistling hynd | H |
In ilka dale green shaw and park | G |
Will nourish health and glad ye'r mind | I |
- | |
Soon as the clear goodman of day | J |
Bends his morning draught of dew | K |
We'll gae to some burnside and play | J |
And gather flowers to busk ye'r brow | L |
We'll pou the dazies on the green | A |
The lucken gowans frae the bog | M |
Between hands now and then we'll lean | A |
And sport upo' the velvet fog | M |
- | |
There's up into a pleasant glen | A |
A wee piece frae my father's tower | N |
A canny saft and flow'ry den | A |
Which circling birks has form'd a bower | N |
When e'er the sun grows high and warm | O |
We'll to the cauller shade remove | P |
There will I lock thee in mine arm | Q |
And love and kiss and kiss and love | R |
