I'll gar our gudeman trow

I'll gar our gudeman trow

⁠I'll sell the ladle,

If he winna buy to me

⁠A bonnie side-saddle,

To ride to kirk and bridal,

⁠And round about the town;

Stand about, ye fisher jauds,

⁠And gi'e my gown room!

I'll gar our gudeman trow

⁠I'll tak' the fling-strings,

If he winna buy to me

⁠Twal bonnie gowd rings;

Ane for ilka finger,

⁠And twa for illia thoom;

Stand about, ye fisher jauds,

⁠And gi'e my gown room!

I'll gar our gudeman trow

⁠That I'm gaun to die,

If he winna fee to me

⁠Valets twa or three,

To bear my train up frae the dirt,

⁠And ush me through the town,

Stand about, ye fisher jauds,

⁠And gi'e my gown room!
