JAMES HARRIS (THE DÆMON LOVER)—H
[_]
Christie, Traditional Ballad Airs, I, 138; taken down by the editor's father from the singing of an aged relative.
1
He's given her a pair of shoes,To hold her frae the cold;
The one side of them was velvaret,
And the other beaten gold.
2
Up she has taen her little wee son,And given him kisses three;
Says, Fare ye weel, my little wee son,
I'm gaun to sail the sea.
