33. Song—'Indeed will I' quo' Findlay

 “WHA is that at my bower-door?”
 “O wha is it but Findlay!”
“Then gae your gate, ye’se nae be here:”
 “Indeed maun I,” quo’ Findlay;
“What mak’ ye, sae like a thief?”
 “O come and see,” quo’ Findlay;
“Before the morn ye’ll work mischief:”
 “Indeed will I,” quo’ Findlay.



“Gif I rise and let you in”—
 “Let me in,” quo’ Findlay;
“Ye’ll keep me waukin wi’ your din;”
 “Indeed will I,” quo’ Findlay;
“In my bower if ye should stay”—
 “Let me stay,” quo’ Findlay;
“I fear ye’ll bide till break o’ day;”
 “Indeed will I,” quo’ Findlay.



“Here this night if ye remain”—
 “I’ll remain,” quo’ Findlay;
“I dread ye’ll learn the gate again;”
 “Indeed will I,” quo’ Findlay.

“What may pass within this bower”—
 “Let it pass,” quo’ Findlay;
“Ye maun conceal till your last hour:”
 “Indeed will I,” quo’ Findlay.
