David Vedder

“ And sain he wants to be my love,
But ah! it canna be;
Tho' mither frets both soon and late
For me to wed this youth I hate,
There's none need hope to gain young Kate,
But Donald of Dundee.
When last we rang'd the banks of Tay,
The ring he shew'd to me,
And bade me name the bridal day,
Then happy wou'd he be:
I ken the youth will aye prove kind,
Nae mair my mither will I mind,
Meis John to me shall' quickly bind
Young Donald of Dundee.
FINIS.
