Chorus.—Robin shure in hairst,
I shure wi’ him.
Fient a heuk had I,
Yet I stack by him.
To warp a wab o’ plaiden, At his daddie’s yett, Wha met me but Robin: Robin shure, &c. Tho’ I was a cotter, Play’d me sic a trick, An’ me the El’er’s dochter! Robin shure, &c. A’ my winter vittle; Fient haet he had but three Guse-feathers and a whittle! Robin shure, &c.
