GId faith Ise was a blith and bonny Lass, Before Ise o're the twenty Years did pass, Ise then had mickle Suiters fine and gay, Who gang'd with Moggy, e'ry Holiday To Edenborough-town, and feast me there; But now they'r gone, they'r gone, Ise know not where: Such happy Days again Ise ne'r shall see, Die now Ise must for Love; ah! wa is me. The first that courted me, when Ise was young, Ah! how my Heart does beat? my trembling Tongue Can hardly utter what Ise have to say, 'Twas bonny Jemmy, in the Month of May, He gave me Sugar-plumbs and Kisses sweet; But Ise was stubborn, peevish, would not eat, Nor suffer him to pull me on his knee, But now he's gone, he's gone; ah! wa is me. Gid faith he was a Laird of mickle geer, With Sward and Bonnet how he did appear, Exceeding all the High-land Scottish Race; Sweet Sonnets could he sing, Dance with a grace, His Service unto me he would devote, Yet Ise not let him touch my Petticoat, When he attempted for to grasp my knee; But now he's gone, he's gone; ah! wa is me. Next Jockey came, my Beauty to behold, And offe[r]'d me a greater sum of Gold Then Ise in all my Days had ever seen, If Ise would let him, you know what I mean: Begone, said I, you cunn[i]ng crafty Loon; Which hasty Words dropt from my Lips too soon: Unhappy Moggy Ise shall ever be, And die a Maid, a Maid; ah! wa is me.
Then Sawny came and call[']d me his Delight, Sayi[n]g, if he might lig with me all Night, Then in the Morning he would surely wed; But loath I was to trust my Maiden-head: Wherefore I did resist him with the rest, And ever since, gid faith, Ise do protest, Not one of them my longing Eyes can see, Ise fear to die a Maid; ah! wa is me. My Mammy told me that Ise must be coy, For if unmarry'd Lovers might enjoy The Virgin-treasure, they would come no more; This she experienc'd many Years before. Ise taking of a Mother's kind Advice, Jemmy and Jockey left me in a trice, And Sawny likewise did like Lightning flee: I fear to die a Maid; ah! wa is me. My Mammy Ise may happen to forgive, But never shall forget her while Ise live; Her Counsel made my Lovers from me run, But what cares she her Dancing-days are done; Wherefore my Mother she no pity shows, Yet Ise am her own Daughter and that she knows; Nothing but mickle Sorrow can Ise see, My Lovers all are fled; ah! wa is me. Ise must acknowledge Ise was too severe, Poor Sawny told me, That Ise not fear But he would marry me, his pretty Bird; Ise do believe Ise might have took his Word: How many Lasses daily do comply Before they marry'd are? And why not I? A Man Ise have, e're it be long[,] she said, For, why should Moggy live and die a Maid?
