Glenisla Mary
By William Wilson (18011860)T
An’ winsome wives in Broughty Ferry;
There ’s bonny maids in Lillybank,
But nane like my Glenisla Mary.
The breakers roar aboon the Ferry;
But when the gowan decks the Law,
I ’ll meet my dear Glenisla Mary.
But love like mine can never vary;
For lang as light to life is dear,
I ’ll love thee, sweet Glenisla Mary.
