514. Song—The Lass o' Ecclefechan by Robert Burns

 GAT ye me, O gat ye me,
 O gat ye me wi’ naething?
Rock an reel, and spinning wheel,
 A mickle quarter basin:
Bye attour my Gutcher has
 A heich house and a laich ane,
A’ forbye my bonie sel,
 The toss o’ Ecclefechan.


O haud your tongue now, Lucky Lang,
 O haud your tongue and jauner
I held the gate till you I met,
 Syne I began to wander:
I tint my whistle and my sang,
 I tint my peace and pleasure;
But your green graff, now Lucky Lang,
 Wad airt me to my treasure.
