Gin i were a baron's heir
And could i braid wi' gems your hair
And make ye braw as ye are fair
La**ie would ye lo'e me?
And i would take ye tae the toon
And show ye braw sicchts mony an ane
And busk ye wi' a silken goon
La**ie would ye lo'e me?
Or should ye be content to prove
In lowly life unfading love
A heart that nought on earth could move
La**ie would ye lo'e me?
And ere the lavrock wings the sky
Say would ye tae the forest high
And work wi' me sae merrily
La**ie would ye lo'e me?
And when the braw moon glistens o'er
Oor wee bit bield and heathery muir
Will ye nay greet that we're sae puir
La**ie for i lo'e ye?
For i hae naught tae offer ye
Nae gowd frae mine nae pearl frae sea
Nor am i come o' high degree
La**ie but i lo'e ye
