Summary

The Hallow fair (1820)

“ But Kitty is a high-born fair;
⁠A lowly name I carry,
Nor can wi' lordly Thanes compare,
⁠Who woo'd the maid to marry:
But she na scornfu' looks on me,
⁠And joy may yet betide,
For hope dares flatter mine may be,
⁠Sweet Kitty o' the Clyde.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

“ SANDY AND JENNY.
Come, come, bonny lassie, cry'd Sandy, awa,
While mither's a spinning, and father's afar,
The folk are at work and the bairns are at play,
And we will be married, dear Jenny, to-day.

“ BAULDY BAIRD.
⁠Bauldy Baird's come again,
⁠Bauldy Baird's come again;
⁠Tell the news through burgh and glen,
⁠Bauldy Baird's come back again!
O Bauldy Baird can buy and sell,
Barrels o' herring, lades o' meal;
Cheat till the good man be poor,
And purch till the good wife look sour
