song—my lord a-hunting
chorus.—mydy's gown, there's gairs upon't,
and gowden flowers sae rare upon't;
but jenny's jimps and jirki,
my lord thinks meikle mair upon't.
my lord a-hunting he is gone,
but hounds or hawks wi' him are nane;
by colin's cottage lies his game,
if colin's jenny be at hame.
mydy's gown, c.
mydy's white, mydy's red,
and kith and kin o' cassillis' blude;
but her ten-pundnds o' tocher gude;
were a' the charms his lordship lo'ed.
mydy's gown, c.
out o'er yon muir, out o'er yon moss,
