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.
