As they came on to Glasgow town,
|
And passd the banks and braes sae bonny,
|
There they espied the weel-faurd may,
|
And she said to them her name was Peggy.
|
Their chief did meet her father soon,
|
And O! but he was wondrous angry;
|
Says, Ye may steal my owsen and kye,
|
But ye maunna steal my bonnie Peggy.
|
¡®O haud your tongue, ye gude auld man,
|
For I¡¯ve got cows and ewes already;
|
I come na to steal your owsen and kye,
|
But I will steal your bonny Peggy.¡¯
|
He set her on a jet-black horse,
|
And he himsel rode a gude grey naigie,
|
And they are on mony miles to the north,
|
And nane wi them but the bonny Peggy.
|
|
'I hae now ten thousand sheep,
|
A¡¯ feeding on yon braes sae bonny,
|
And ilka hundred a shepherd has,
|
Altho I be but a Hieland laddie.
|
¡®It¡¯s I hae fifty acres of land,
|
It¡¯s a¡¯ plowd and sawn already;
|
I am Donald, the Lord of Skye,
|
And why sud na Peggy be calld a lady?
