Gin ye marry me, lassie, at the kirk o Birnie Bouzle
Till the day ye dee, lassie, ye will neer repent it
And ye sall wear when we are wed the kirtle and the hilan plaid
Sleep upon a feather bed, sae couthie and sae cantie
And ye sall gan sae braw, lassie, at the kirk o Birnie Bouzle
Little brouges and a, lassie, vow, but yell be cantie
And yer wee-bit tocher is but sma, but hoddon-grey will wear for a
Ill save my siler tae mak ye braw and ye will neer repent it
Gin ye marry me, lassie, at the kirk o Birnie Bouzle
Till the day ye dee, lassie, ye will neer repent it
And yell hae bonnie bairnes and a, some lassies fair and laddies braw
Like their mither, yin and a and yer faither, hes consented
Gin ye marry me, lassie, at the kirk o Birnie Bouzle
Till the day ye dee, lassie, ye will neer repent it.
