Many of the pages in this pamphlet are missing part of the text due to the loss of the gutter. In most cases, the text has been reconstructed by reference to other copies of the poems/songs already on Wikisource. The entries in the Table of Contents have been reconstructed by reference to the words as they appear in the relevant song or the page on which each begins.

The Table of Contents lists the works alphabetically by first line, not by the title at the head of each song. For the purposes of transclusion, and alignment with other versions, the song titles have been used. The transcluded works are linked in page order.

CONTENTS.

As Donald and Paddy were one day,		5
As I stood by yon roofles tower,		17
As walking forth to view the plain,		26
At Willie's wedding on the green,		45
Bonny Lassie, will ye go,		13
Deserted by the waning moon,		12
Farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong,		44
Gude'en to you, kimmer,		22
Here awa', there awa',		39
I darena gang again to see,		9
I'm wearing awa', Jean,		30
Loud blaw the frosty breezes,		15
Lowland Lassie, wilt thou go,		36
Mirk and rainy is the night,		32
Now, Jenny lass, my bonny bird,		42
O whither wad ye down the rill,		8
O whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad,		16
O that I had ne'er been married,		⟨19⟩
O leave novels, ye Mauchline belles,		⟨20⟩
O Mally's meek, Mally's sweet,		⟨21⟩
O gude ale comes, and gude ale goes, (not in original TOC)		19
O Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,		⟨31⟩
Och hey, Johnny lad,		⟨33⟩
Oh, think on my fate,		⟨37⟩
Ods'bloods what a time for a seaman,		⟨44⟩
O weel may the Boatie row,		⟨47⟩
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,		⟨41⟩
Sweet blooms the rose on Largy's side,		⟨10⟩
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,		⟨23⟩
Scenes of woe and scenes of pleasure,		⟨25⟩
Thou bonny wood of Craigie-lea,		⟨34⟩
The lasses fain wad hae frae me,		⟨40⟩
Where Cart gently glides,		⟨11⟩
Wi' waefu' heart and sorrowing e'e,		⟨28⟩
Willie Wastle dwelt on Tweed,		⟨29⟩
