TWa Bonny Ladds were Sawny and Jockey, But Jockey was Lo'd and Sawny unlucky; Yet Sawny was tall, well-favour'd and witty, But I's in my heart thought Jockey more pritty: For when he view'd me, su'd me, woo'd me, never was Ladd so like to undo me: Fie I cry'd, and almost dy'd, least Jockey wou'd gang and come no mere to me.
(2) Jockey would Love, but he would not Marry, And I was afraid that I shou'd miscarry; For his cunning Tongue with Wit was so guilded, That I had a dread my heart wou'd a yielded: Dayly he prest me, blest me, kist me, Lost was the hour methought when he mist me; Crying, denying, and sighing, I woo'd him, And mickle adoe I had to get from him. (3) But unlucky Fate robb'd me of my Jewel, For Sawny would make him fight in a Duel; Then down in a Dale with Cyprus surrounded, Oh! there in my sight poor Jockey was wounded: But when he thrill'd him, fell'd him, kill'd him, Who can express my grief that beheld him? Raging, I tore my Hair to bind him, And vowed and swore I'de ne'r stay behind him. (4) I'se shriek'd and I'se cry'd, wae's me so unhappy, For I'se now have lost mine nene sweet Jockey: Sawny I curst, and bid him to flye me, I vow'd and I swore he shou'd ne'r come nigh me, But I'd spight him, hate him, fight him, And never again wou'd Jenny like him: Though he did sigh and almost dye, He cry'd fie on me, cause I did slight him. (5) And from me I'se bid him straightway be ganging, When with arms a cross, and head down hanging: Whilst that my poor Jockey was a dying, He to the Woods then departed sighing: And his breath wanted, panted, fainted, Whilst that for him my tears were not scanted: I'se beat my breast, and my grief expressed, Wae's me that Death my joy has suppressed.
(6) At which my Jockey a little reviving, And with Death as it were he lay then striving, Open'd his Eyes and looked upon me, And faintly sigh'd, Ah! Death has undone me: Jenny my Honey I'se must part from thee, But when I'm dead, sure there's none will wrong thee, I did love thee, and that did move me To Fight, that so a man I'se might prove me. (7) But ah cruel Fate to Death I am wounded, Oh! and with that again he then swounded; Whilst for to dress his wound I apply'd me, But wae alas his Life was deny'd me: Death had appaul'd him, gaul'd him, thrall'd him, So that he dy'd, with grief I beheld him: And left poor Jenny all a mourning, And cruel Sawny cursing and scorning. (8) From Jockies cold Lips I often stole Kisses, The which whilst he lived were still my blisses: A thousand times I did sob, sigh it, And mickle ado I'se had to be quiet: For as I ey'd him, spy'd him, ply'd him, Never a thought could then pass beside him: I'se bann the Fates that Life denying, Had robb'd me of Jockey, and long I sat sighing. (9) Till I'se at last with Cyprus crown'd him, And with my tears I'se almost drown'd him: The Turtles about us then came flying, And mourning, coo'd, to seem a sighing: I'se view'd him, ru'd him, with flowers strew'd him, And with my love to the last pursu'd him: Resolving that I'se not stay behind him, But sighing, dye, and seek for to find him.
