[_]

Cromek's Select Scotish Songs, 1810, II, 196, the seventh and tenth stanzas; sent by Burns to William Tytler in 1790.

1

Get up, get up now, sister Ann,
I fear we've wrought you sorrow;
Get up, ye'll find your true love slain,
Among the banks of Yarrow.’

‘I made my love a suit of clothes,
I clad him all in tartan,
But ere the morning sun arose,
He was a' bluid to the gartan.’
