Were Ye at the Pier o Leith?
By AnonymousW
Or came in by Bannochie?
Crossed ye at the boat o’ Craig?—
Saw ye the lad wha courted me?
Garters tyed below his knee;
O, he was a bonnie lad,
The blythe lad wha courted me!
Gaur’d me gang kilted to the knee,
May the sleekie bird ne’er build a nest
That sung to see the hawk wi’ me!
