She wadna hae a Lawland laird, 25 Nor be an English lady; But she wad gang wi' Duncan Gr[ae]me, And row her in his plaidie. She was nae ten miles frae the town, When she began to weary; 30 She aften looked back, and said, "Farewell to Castlecarry. "The first place I saw my Duncan Gr[ae]me, Was near yon holland bush; My father took frae me my rings, 35 My rings but and my purse. "But I wadna gie my Duncan Gr[ae]me For a' my father's land, Though it were ten times ten times mair, And a' at my command." 40 * * * * * * * * * Now wae be to you, loggerheads, That dwell near Castlecarry, To let awa' sic a bonny lass, A Highlandman to marry. 45 GLASGOW PEGGY. From recitation, in Kinloch's _Ancient Scottish Ballads_, p. 174. Other copies are printed in Buchan's _Ballads of the North of Scotland_, ii. 155, (_Donald of the Isles_,) Sharpe's _Ballad Book_, p. 40, (and Chambers's _Popular Rhymes_, p. 27,) Smith's _Scottish Minstrel_, iv. 78. The Lawland lads think they are fine, But the hieland lads are brisk and gaucy; And they are awa near Glasgow toun, To steal awa a bonnie lassie. "I wad gie my gude brown steed, 5 And sae wad I my gude grey naigie, That I war fifty miles frae the toun, And nane wi' me but my bonnie Peggy." But up then spak the auld gudman, And vow but he spak wondrous saucie;-- 10 "Ye may steal awa our cows and ewes, But ye sanna get our bonnie lassie." "I have got cows and ewes anew, I've got gowd and gear already; Sae I dinna want your cows nor ewes, 15 But I will hae your bonnie Peggy." "I'll follow you oure moss and muir, I'll follow you oure mountains many, I'll follow you through frost and snaw, I'll stay na langer wi' my daddie." 20 He set her on a gude brown steed, Himself upon a gude grey naigie; They're oure hills, and oure dales, And he's awa wi' his bonnie Peggy. As they rade out by Glasgow toun, 25 And doun by the hills o' Achildounie, There they met the Earl of Hume, And his auld son, riding bonnie. Out bespak the Earl of Hume, And O but he spak wondrous sorry,-- 30 "The bonniest lass about a' Glasgow toun, This day is awa wi' a hieland laddie." As they rade bye auld Drymen toun, The lassies leuch and lookit saucy, That the bonniest lass they ever saw, 35 Sud be riding awa wi' a hieland laddie.
