song—my lord a-hunting

chorus.—my lady's gown, there's gairs upon't,

and gowden flowers sae rare upon't;

but jenny's jimps and jirkinet,

my lord thinks meikle mair upon't.

my lord a-hunting he is gone,

but hounds or hawks wi' him are nane;

by colin's cottage lies his game,

if colin's jenny be at hame.

my lady's gown, c.

my lady's white, my lady's red,

and kith and kin o' cassillis' blude;

but her ten-pund lands o' tocher gude;

were a' the charms his lordship lo'ed.
