I've nine milk ewes, my Marion, W: A cow, and a brawny quey; W: I'll gie them a' to my Marion, W: Just on her bridal day. W: W:5.

I'm young and stout, my Marion; W: Nane dances like me on the green; W: And gin ye forsake me, Marion, W: I'll e'en draw up wi' Jean. W: W:7. Sae put on your pearlins, Marion, W: Wi' kirtle of the cramasie; W: And sae soon's my chin has nae hair on, W: I shall come west, and see thee. % - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - %: 2 % %sep 4 1 100 % %sep 1 4 100 T: HOW BLYTHE HAE I BEEN T: to the same air K: W:1.How blythe hae I been wi' my Sandy, W: As we sat in the howe o' the glen!
