Summary

New pease strae (July 2020)

“ If thou can love, there’s none above
⁠thee, I can fancy sae;
I would be blest, if I but wist
⁠that ye wou’d shake my strae.
She, wi’ a smile, said, ye’re beguil’d,
⁠I mauna fancy thee;
My mither bauld, she would me scauld,
⁠sae dinna die for me.
But yet I own, as I’m near grown
⁠a woman, since it’s sae,
I'll marry thee, syne ye’ll get me
⁠to shake your Pease Strae.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
