Montgomeries Peggy

    montgomerie's peggy

    tune—“galla water.”

    altho' my bed were in yon muir,

    amang the heather, in my plaidie;

    yet happy, happy would i be,

    had i my dear montgomerie's peggy.

    when o'er the hill beat surly storms,

    and winter nights were dark and rainy;

    i'd seek some dell, and in my arms

    i'd shelter dear montgomerie's peggy.

    were i a baron proud and high,

    and horse and servants waiting ready;

    then a' 'twad gie o' joy to me,—

    the sharin't with montgomerie's peggy.
