I 'll LAY ME ON THE WINTRY LEA.
I 'll lay me on the wintry lea,
And sleep amidst the wind and weet,
And ere another's bride I be,
O bring to me my winding sheet!
And sleep amidst the wind and weet,
And ere another's bride I be,
O bring to me my winding sheet!
What can a hapless lassie do,
When ilka friend wad prove her foe,
Wad gar her break her dearest vow,
To wed wi' ane she canna lo'e?
When ilka friend wad prove her foe,
Wad gar her break her dearest vow,
To wed wi' ane she canna lo'e?
