Song -- Tune, Morag --
O wat ye wha' that lo'es me,
And has my heart a keeping,
O' sweet is she that lo'es me
As dews o' simmer e'enin weeping,
In dews tears the rosebuds steeping. ----
Chorus
O wat ye wha' that lo'es me,
And has my heart a keeping,

As dews o' simmer e'enin weeping,
In dews tears the rosebuds steeping. ----
Chorus
O that's the Queen o' womankind,
And ne'er a ane to peer her. ----

If thou shalt meet a lassie,
In grace & beauty charming;
That e'en thy chosen lassie,
Ere while thy breast sae warming,
Had ne'er sic powers alarming.
O that's & c. ----
And ne'er a ane to peer her. ----
