To go and meet this bonny lad;
The tears stood in her eyes;
But when she came to him, she cry‘d,
You've got my maiden-head,
This brat has brought my shame to light,
When will you with me wed?
With that Jockey he did alight,
And with a sweet embrace,
He said to her, my dearest dear,
To-morrow in this place,
If you'll be sure to meet me here,
We to the kirk will hie,
And there, my dear, the marriage-knot
In love we then will tie.
Then with a kiss they both did part,
And met again next day,
They both were marry‘d after that,
And home they went their way.
Unto a house, whereas that day
In joy and mirth was spent,
Thus Jenny she was made a wife,
Unto her heart's content.
