THE Bonny Scottish Lad , AND THE Yielding Lass . To an excellent new Tune much in Request , called The Liggan Waters .

BOnny Lass I love thee well , bonny Lad I love thee better , Wilt thou pull off thy Hose and Shoon , and wend with me to Liggan Water ? Liggan Water is so deep , and I am loath to wet my feet . But if you 'll promise to marry me . I 'll put off my Shoon and follow thee . I have House , and I have Land , I have all things at command , I have a thing that you ne'er see , Bonny Lass wilt thou Mow with me ? I good store of Cattel keep , Cows , Bulls and Oxen , Hogs and Sheep , And all I have I 'll give to thee , bonny Lass wilt thou mow with me ? Bonny Lad it is all in vain , before you shall your will obtain , I 'll make you promise to marry me , and then thou 'st freely Mow with me . For your Goods and Lands I do not care , then bonny Jocky pray forbare , For I will never yield to thee , without you 'll promise to Marry me .

As I went forth one Morning fair , I met with a bonny Lass , fresh and gay , A bonnier Lass , I ne'er did see until I chanc'd to meet with thee . This bonny Lass did ogle me , and I could hardly pass her by , She began for to be so free , and sighing said , she 'd dye for me . From her white hand a Ring she took , and said , My Lad this is for thee , She gave me a smiling look , and soon did yield to lig with me . Then bonny Jenny pity take , I se left that bonny Lass for your sake : Soon I began to fancy thee , then bonny Jenny lie with me . All night in softest Wool we 'll lye , and kiss as close as Cockles do ; Then we the Bliss of Love will try , in Summer and in Winter too . How can you so fickle be to doat on all that you do see ? If I should yield to lig with thee , thou soon wou'd prove as false to me I 'd have all Lasses wiser grow , and not fond Love to young Men show For before that I do yield to thee , I 'll make you promise to marry me . But yet alas ! for all her Act little Cupid shot a Dart , That she could not resist Love's Charm but strait did yield to Jocky's Arms.
