KILBOGIE



First when I cam' tae Kilbogie's toon

Wi' my short coat and my tartan plaidie

First when I cam' my bonnie love tae see

She stayed in her bed till her breakfast was ready



When her breakfast it was set doon

She said she had been tae the fields wi' her daddy

Weel I kent by the silk o' her hands'

She stayed in her bed till her breakfast was ready



When her breakfast it was set doon

It was set doon and it was made ready

Oot spake her mother untae her

"Hae naething tae dae wi' a Hielan' laddie"



They gaed oot tae tak' a walk

Tae tak a walk till the dinner was ready

He's set her up on his high horse back

An she's far, far awa' frae her hame in Kilbogie



When at last tae the Hielan's they cam'

There was naething there fitting for a lady

Naething was there for her tae lay on

But a wee pickle heather an'his tartan plaidie



"In my faither's hoose there's blankets and sheets

They are very white and bonnie

An' right angry my faither wad be

Tae see me lyin' here on yer tartan plaidie"



"In the Hielan's we've got plenty o' sheep

They are very thick and bonnie

It's ye'll get wool an' ye can spin

An mak ye a blanket instead o' a plaidie"



"A coach and six tae me prepare"

A coach and six was gotten ready

A coach and six tae tak' her a' the way

An' she's awa' back tae her home in Kilbogie
