this is no my ain lassie
tune—“this is no my house.”
chorus—this is no my ain lassie,
fair tho, the lassie be;
weel ken i my ain lassie,
kind love is in her e're.
i see a form, i see a face,
ye weel may wi' the fairest place;
it wants, to me, the witching grace,
the kind love that's in her e'e.
this is no my ain, &c.
she's bonie, blooming, straight, and tall,
and lang has had my heart in thrall;
