montgomerie's y

tune—“ga water.”

altho' my bed were in yon muir,

amang the heather, in my idie;

yet happy, happy would i be,

had i my dear montgomerie's y.

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 y.

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 y.
