The Jew's Daughter

SIR HUGH, OR, THE JEW'S DAUGHTER—Q

[_]

Motherwell's Note-Book, p. 54, as sung by Widow Michael, an old woman in Barhead.

A' the bairns o Lincolnshire
Were learning at the school,
And every Saturday at een
They learnt their lessons weel.

The Jew's dochter sat in her bower-door,
Sewing at her seam;
She spied a' the bonnie bairns,
As they cam out and hame.
