The Lass O Elefehan
the lass o' ecclefe tune—“jack o' latin.” gat ye me, o gat ye me, o gat ye me wi' hing? ro reel, and spinning wheel, a mickle quarter basin: bye attour my gutcher has a heich house and a laie, a' forbye my bonie sel, the toss o' ecclefe. o haud your tongue now, lucky lang, o haud your tongue and jauner i held the gate till you i met, syne i began to wander: i tint my whistle and my sang, i tint my pead pleasure; but yreen graff, now lucky lang, wad airt me to my treasure.
