I love my love in secret

My Sandy gied to me a ring,

Was a' beset wi' diamonds fine,

But I gied him a better thing,

I gied my heart in pledge o' his ring.

My Sandy O, my Sandy O,

My bonny, bonny Sandy O;

Tho' the love that I owe

To thee I dare na show,

Yet I love my love in secret,

My Sandy O!

My Sandy brak a piece o' gowd,

While down his cheeks the saut tears row'd,

He took a hauf and gied it me,

And I'll keep it till the hour I die.

My Sandy O...
