DAVIE TULLOCH'S BONNIE KATIE.
Davie Tulloch's bonnie Katie,
Davie's bonnie blithesome Katie,
Tam the laird cam' down yestreen,
He sought her love, but gat her pity.
Davie's bonnie blithesome Katie,
Tam the laird cam' down yestreen,
He sought her love, but gat her pity.
Wi' trembling grip he squeezed her hand,
While his auld heart gaed pitty-patty;
Aye he thought his gear and land
Wad win the love o' bonnie Katie.
While his auld heart gaed pitty-patty;
Aye he thought his gear and land
Wad win the love o' bonnie Katie.
Davie Tulloch's bonnie Katie,
Davie's bonnie blithesome Katie,
Aye she smiled as Tammie wiled:
Her smile was scorn, yet mixed wi' pity.
Davie's bonnie blithesome Katie,
Aye she smiled as Tammie wiled:
Her smile was scorn, yet mixed wi' pity.
