montgomerie's peggy

  tune—“galla water.”

  altho' my bed were in yon muir,

  amang the heather, in my plaidie;

  yet happy, happy would i be,

  had i my dear montgomerie's peggy.

  when o'er the hill beat surly storms,

  and winter nights were dark and rainy;

  i'd seek some dell, and in my arms

  i'd shelter dear montgomerie's peggy.

  were i a baron proud and high,

  and horse and servants waiting ready;

  then a' 'twad gie o' joy to me,—

  the sharin't with montgomerie's peggy.
