MY Love he was as brave a Man as ever Scotland bred, Descended from a Highland Clan, a Kater to his Trade: No Woman then, or Woman kind had ever greater Joy, Than we two when we lodg'd alone, I and my Gilderoy. First when I and my Love met, with Joy he did me Crown, He gave me a new Petticoat, and then a Tartan Gown: No Woman then, etc. Gilderoy was a bony Boy when he went to the Glen He had Silk Stockings on his Legs, and Roses in his Shoon: No Woman then, etc. When Cilderoy went to the Wood, he ofttimes catch'd the Fat, Into the Desert as he went, scarce one durst Beldecat, But if he were as stout as Wallace wight, and tall as Dalmahoy, He'd never miss to get a Clout from my love Gilderoy. When Gilderoy and I was young, we was brought up together, And we were scarce seven years old, when the one did love the other? out Fathers and our Mothers both they thought of us great joy, And long'd to see the wedding day twixt me and Gilderoy. Till it fell once upon a time they catch'd him like a Thief, And ty'd his hands behind back, which was to me much grief? Three Gallons large of Iscobee they drank to my Loves Foy, And in to Edinburgh they have ta'en my gallant Gilderoy. Pox upon you English Laws, that hangs a man for Gear, Either for catching Gow or Ewe, or stealing Horse or Mare. Had not their Laws been so strict, I'de never lost my Joy, But now he's gone whom I lov'd best, I mean my Gilderoy. And now he is in Edinburgh Town long ere I came there; They hanged him upon a Pin, And he wagg'd in the Air: His Relicts they were more esteem than Scanderberg at Troy: I never lov'd to see the face that gaz'd on Gilderoy.
