O Saw Ye My Maggie?
(Tune - Saw ye na my Peggy)

O SAW ye my Maggy,
Saw ye my Maggy,
Saw ye my Maggy,
Comin o'er the lea?
What mark has your Maggy,
What mark has your Maggy,
What mark has your Maggy,
That ane may ken her be?
Wry -c----d is she,
Wry -c----d is she,
Wry -c----d is she,
And pishes gain' her thie.
My Maggy has a mark,
You'll find it in the dark;

It's in below her sark,
A little aboon her knee.
What wealth has your Maggy,
What wealth has your Maggy,
What wealth has your Maggy,
In tocher, gear, or fee?
My Maggy has a treasure,
A hidden mine o' pleasure,
I'll howk it at my leisure,
It's a' alane for me.
How meet ye your Maggie,
How meet ye your Maggie,
How meet ye your Maggie,
When nane's to hear or see?
Een that tell our wishes,
Eager, glowing kisses,
Then diviner blisses,
In holy ecstacie!

How loe ye your Maggie,
How loe ye your Maggie,
How loe ye your Maggie,
And loe nane but she?
Heavenly joys before me!
Rapture trembling o'er me!
Maggie I adore thee,
On my bended knee!!!
