Lassie wi the yellow coatie<br>
Will ye wed a moorland jockie<br>
Lassie wi the yellow coatie<br>
Will ye busk and gang wi me<br>
I ha meal and milk in plenty<br>
I ha kale and cakes fee dainty<br>
I've a but an ben fee gentry<br>
But I want a wife like thee<br>
Tho my mallen be but small<br>
Little gold I hae to show<br>
I've a heart without a flaw<br>
And I'd gie it all tae thee<br>
Haste ye lassie tae my bossom<br>
While the roses are in blossem<br>
Time is precious, dinna lose them<br>
Flo'ers will fade and so will ye<br>
