As I Went Out One May Morning
----------------------------
As I went out one May morning,
 A May morning it chanced to be,
There I was aware of a weelfair maid
Cam linkin' o'er the lea to me.
 O but she was a weelfair maid,
 The boniest lass that's under the sun;
 I spied if she could fancy me,
 But her answer was, "I am too young."
To be your bride I am too young;
To be your loun wad shame my kin.
So therefore pray young man begone,
For you never, never shall my favour win.
But among yon birks and hawthorns green,
Where roses blow and woodbines heen,
O there I learn'd my bonnie lass,
That she was not an hour too young.
 The lassie blushed; the lassie sighed
And the tear stood twinkling in her e'e.
"O kind Sir, since ye hae done me wrang
It's pray when will ye marry me?
It's of that day take ye no heed,
For that's a day ye ne'er shall see.
For ought that pass'd between us twa,
Ye had your share as weel as me.
She wrang her hands; she tore her hair;
She cried out most bitterly,
"Oh what will I say to my mammie.
When I gae hame wi' my big bellie!"
 O as ye maut, so maun ye brew
And as ye brew, so maun ye tun.
But come to my arms my ae bonie lass,
For ye never shall rue what ye now hae done!
