8 . Song—Montgomerie’s Peggy

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.
