W:Oh Logie o Buchan, O Logie the laird
W:They hae ta?en awa? Jamie, that delved in the yaird.
W:Wha? played on the pipe, on the viol sae sma?,
W:They hae ta?en awa? Jamie, the flo?er o? them a?.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:He said, ?Think na lang lassie, tho? I gang awa?
W:An? I?ll come an? see thee, in spite o? them a?.?
W:
W:Tho? Sandy has ousen, has gear, and has kye,
W:A house and a haudin?, and siller forbye;
W:Yet I?d tak? my ain lad wi? his staff in his hand,
W:Before I?d hae him wi? his houses and land.
W:
W:My daddy looks sulky, my minny looks soor,
W:They frown upon Jamie because he is poor;
W:Though I like them as weel as a dochter should do,
W:They?re nae hauf so dear to me, Jamie as you.
W:
W:I sit on my creepie and spin at my wheel,
W:And think on the laddie that lo?ed me sae weel;
W:He had but ae saxpence, he brak? it in twa,
W:And he gied me the half o?t when he gaed awa?
