⟨And⟩ a voyage to your father once more we will go,
⟨And⟩ relieve the old farmer from his trouble & wo.
⟨With⟩ men and maid servants us to wait upon.
(illegible text) away to her father in a chaise they are gone;
⟨The⟩ laddie went foremost, the brave highland lown,
⟨Till⟩ they came to the road that leads to the town.
When he came to the gate he gave a loud roar,
⟨Come⟩ down gentle farmer, Cathrine’s at your door,
Then he look’d out the window, he saw his daughter’s face,
⟨With⟩ his hat in his hand he made a great fraise.
⟨Keep⟩ on your hat, farmer, don’t let it fa,
⟨For⟩ it sets not the peacock to bow to the crow,
(illegible text)s hold your tongue, Sawny, and do not taunt me,
⟨For⟩ my daughter’s not worthy your bride for to be.
⟨Now⟩ he held his bridle-reins till he came down,
(illegible text)nd then he convey’d them to a fine room:
With the finest of spirits they drank a fine toss.
(illegible text)nd the son and the father drank both in one glass.
I can't for I'm in haste.
⟨AS⟩ cross the fields the other morn,
I tripp’d so blithe and gay,
The squire with his dog and gun
By chance came by that way.
