“O, Willie, my son, what makes ye so sad?”
As the sun shines over the valley
“I lie sorely sick for the love of a maid.”
“O, is she an heiress or lady fine?
As the sun shines over the valley
That she winna tak nae pity on thee.”
“Though a’ our kin were aboot yon bower
As the sun shines over the valley
Ye shall no’ bе a maiden one single hour
Amang thе blue flowers and the yellow
“For a maid ye cam’ here without a convoy
As the sun shines over the valley
And ye shall return with a horse and a boy
“Ye cam’ here a maiden sae meek and sae mild
As the sun shines over the valley
But ye shall gae hame a wedded wife wi’ a child.”
