Will Ye Gang Love
My love he stands in yon chaumer door
Combing doon his yellow hair
His curly locks I Iove to see
I wonder if my love minds on me
Will ye gang love, an' leave me noo
Will ye gang love, an' leave me noo
Will ye forsake your ain love true
An' gang wi' a lass that ye never knew?
I wish, I wish, oh I wish in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I'll never be
Till an apple grows on an orange tree
I wish, I wish my babe were born
And sitting on his daddy's knee
An' I myself were dead an' gone
An' the wavin' grass all o'er me growin'
As lang as my apron did bide doon
He followed me frae toon tae toon
But noo it's up an' abune my knee
My love gaes by but he ne'er kens me
Mak' my grave baith lang and deep
Put a bunch of roses at my head and feet
And in the middle put a turtle dove
Let the people know that I died of love
Will ye gang love, an' leave me noo
Will ye gang love, an' leave me noo
Will ye forsake your ain love true
An' gang wi' a lass that ye never knew?
