By Songs. VIII. My Ain Kind Dearie, O

Carolina, Lady Nairne (1766–1845)

WILL ye gang owre the lea-rig,

My ain kind dearie, O?

Will ye gang ower the lea-rig,

My ain kind dearie, O?

Gin ye’ll tak’ heart, and gang wi’ me,

Mishap will never steer ye, O;

Gude luck lies owre the lea-rig,

My ain kind dearie, O.

There’s walth owre yon green lea-rig,

My ain kind dearie, O;

There’s walth owre yon green lea-rig,

My ain kind dearie, O;

It’s neither land, nor gowd, nor braws,

Let them gang tapsie teerie, O;

It’s walth o’ peace, o’ love, and truth,

My ain kind dearie, O.
