MISCELLANEOUS SONGS

A RUINED FARMER

MONTGOMERIE'S PEGGY

THE LASS OF CESSNOCK BANKS

THO' FICKLE FORTUNE

MY FATHER WAS A FARMER

O, LEAVE NOVÉLS

THE MAUCHLINE LADY

ONE NIGHT AS I DID WANDER

THERE WAS A LAD

WILL YE GO TO THE INDIES, MY MARY

HER FLOWING LOCKS

THE LASS O' BALLOCHMYLE

THE NIGHT WAS STILL

THE BONIE MOOR-HEN

HERE'S A BOTTLE

THE BONIE LASS OF ALBANIE

AMANG THE TREES

THE CHEVALIER'S LAMENT

YESTREEN I HAD A PINT O' WINE

SWEET ARE THE BANKS

YE FLOWERY BANKS

YOU'RE WELCOME, WILLIE STEWART

WHEN FIRST I SAW

BEHOLD THE HOUR

HERE'S A HEALTH TO THEM THAT'S AWA

MEG O' THE MILL

PHILLIS THE FAIR

O SAW YE MY DEAR, MY PHILLY

'TWAS NA HER BONIE BLUE E'E

WHY, WHY TELL THY LOVER

O, WERT THOU IN THE CAULD BLAST

ON A CELEBRATED RULING ELDER

Here Souter Hood in death does sleep:
In hell, if he's gane thither,
Satan, gie him thy gear to keep;
He'll haud it weel thegither.
