ROY'S WIFE OF ALDIVALLOCH.

ROY'S wife of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Ken ye how ſhe cheated me,
As I came by the Braes of Balloch.

She vow'd, ſhe ſwore, ſhe wad be mine,
and ſaid, ſhe lo'ed me beſt of ony:
But, Oh! the fickle, faithleſs quean,
ſhe's ta'en the carle and left her Johny.

But. Oh! the fickle, faithleſs quean,
ſhe's ta'en the carle and left her Johny.

Ay ſhe was a canty quean,
and weel cou'd dance the Highland walloch:
Happy I, had ſhe been mine.
or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch.

Her face ſae fair her een ſae clear,
her wee bit mou' was aye ſae bonny;
To me ſhe ever ſhall prove dear,
tho' ſhe's for ever left her Johny.
