my love, she's but a lassie yet

my love, she's but a lassie yet,

my love, she's but a lassie yet;

we'll let her stand a year or twa,

she'll no be half sae saucy yet;

i rue the day i sought her, o!

i rue the day i sought her, o!

wha gets her needs na say she's woo'd,

but he may say he's bought her, o.
