I Love My Love In Secret
My Sandy gied to me
a ring,
Was a’ beset wi’
diamonds fine;
But I gied him a far
better thing,
I gied my heart in pledge
o’ his ring.
Chorus.—My
Sandy O, my Sandy O,
My bonie, bonie Sandy
O;
Tho’ the love
that I owe
To thee I dare na show,
Yet I love my love in
secret, my Sandy O.
My Sandy brak a piece
o’ gowd,
While down his cheeks
the saut tears row’d;
He took a hauf, and
gied it to me,
And I’ll keep
it till the hour I die.
My Sand O, &c.

Or walk by my side,

his lands and his money,
I care na thy kin, sae
high and sae lordly;
But sae that thou’lt
hae me for better for waur,
And come in thy coatie,
sweet Tibbie Dunbar.
The Captain’s Lady
Chorus.—O
mount and go, mount and make you ready,
O mount and go, and
be the Captain’s lady.
When the drums do beat,
and the cannons rattle,
Thou shalt sit in state,
and see thy love in battle:
When the drums do beat,
and the cannons rattle,
Thou shalt sit in state,
and see thy love in battle.
O mount and go, &c.
When the vanquish’d
foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we’ll
go, and in love enjoy it:
When the vanquish’d
foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we’ll
go, and in love enjoy it.
O mount and go, &c.

And sleep thegither

My Love, She’s But A Lassie Yet
My love, she’s
but a lassie yet,
My love, she’s
but a lassie yet;
We’ll let her
stand a year or twa,
She’ll no be half
sae saucy yet;
I rue the day I sought
her, O!
I rue the day I sought
her, O!
Wha gets her needs na
say she’s woo’d,
But he may say he’s
bought her, O.
