III. SONG OF A DUNDEE LASS,
ON HER LOVER AT SEA.
Jemmy was a bonny lad,
Well he pleugh'd his faither's glen,
But he cast away his plaid,
To go fight with gallant men.
On the pleasant banks of Tay,
Oft he told his love to me;
There he stole my heart away,
The lad of bonny Dundee.
Well he pleugh'd his faither's glen,
But he cast away his plaid,
To go fight with gallant men.
305
Oft he told his love to me;
There he stole my heart away,
The lad of bonny Dundee.
When he left the banks of Tay,
Fame to seek among the brave,
Many a lass's heart was wae,
But to me his troth he gave.
Maer to me his love than gold!
And when Jemmy comes fra' sea,
To my bosom will I fold
The lad of bonny Dundee.
Fame to seek among the brave,
Many a lass's heart was wae,
But to me his troth he gave.
Maer to me his love than gold!
And when Jemmy comes fra' sea,
To my bosom will I fold
The lad of bonny Dundee.
