Nothing she said, but sighing sore,
Alas for bonny Annie;
She durst not own her heart was won
By the trumpeter of Fyvie.

At night when all went to their bed
All slept full soon but Annie;
Love so oppress’d her tender breast.
And love will waste her body.

Love comes in at my bed-side.
And love lies down beyond me—
Love so oppress’d my tender breast.
And love will waste my body.

The first time me and my love
Were in the woods of Fvvie.
His lovely form and speech so soft
Soon gained the heart of Annie.

He called me mistress, I said no,
I’m Tifty’s bonny Annie;
With apples sweet he did me treat,
And kisses soft and many.

It’s up and down in Tifty’s glen.
Where the burn runs clear and bonnie—
I’ve often gane to meet my love.
My bonny Andrew Lammie.

But now alas! her father heard
That the trumpeter of Fyvie,
Had had the art to gain the heart
Of Mill of Tifty’s Annie.
