WILL YE GANG WI' ME
 
 
 
 


156

WILL YE GANG WI' ME

[_]

Tune—“Morag.”

Oh! will ye gang wi' me, lassie,
In the silent gloaming,
And the maukins see, lassie,
Through the heather roaming,
Amang the bells sae blooming?

Chorus—

Oh! come awa wi' me, my love,
For there is nought to fear ye:
I'll clasp ye i' my arms, my love,
Nae danger shall come near ye.
We'll see the moon sae bright, lassie,
Leaning on the rushes,
Streaming its pale light, lassie,
Through the dewy bushes,
That hide thy bonnie blushes.
Oh! come awa, &c.
We'll press the banks sae green, lassie,
By the burnie rowing,
Glancing wi' siller sheen, lassie,
Sweetly, kindly flowing
To quench my bosom's lowing.
Oh! come awa, &c.

157

I'll kiss thy bonnie mou', lassie,
Tho' ye sair should wyte me;
I'll grip an' squeeze ye, too, lassie;
Your anger winna fright me,
Although you sair should flyte me.
Then come awa, &c.
