A NEW SONG.
Begbie burn rins fair and clear,
And Begbie woods are bonnie, O;
There will I wed my winsome Meg,
If e'er I marry ony, O.
The dewy tear hangs on the briar,
The birk and blooming thorn, O;
The cuckoo wakes the slumb'ring brake,
And ushers in the morn, O.
And Begbie woods are bonnie, O;
There will I wed my winsome Meg,
If e'er I marry ony, O.
The dewy tear hangs on the briar,
The birk and blooming thorn, O;
The cuckoo wakes the slumb'ring brake,
And ushers in the morn, O.
Though gear be guid to him has need,
And truly I'm but scanty, O;
Yet there's ae heart I wadna part,
For a' yon Earl's County, O.
O' Begbie woods are bonnie woods,
And Begbie burn's sae rocky, O;
There will I wed my winsome Meg,
Wi' naething but her smoky, O.
And truly I'm but scanty, O;
Yet there's ae heart I wadna part,
For a' yon Earl's County, O.
O' Begbie woods are bonnie woods,
And Begbie burn's sae rocky, O;
There will I wed my winsome Meg,
Wi' naething but her smoky, O.
