lyrics

Gin I Were A Baron's Heir

Oh gin I were a baron's heir
And could I braid wi' gems your hair
And mak ye braw as ye are fair
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I could tak ye tae the toon
And shaw ye braw sichts mony's an ane
And busk ye wi' a silken goon
Lassie, wad ye lou me?

And wad ye be content tae prove
In lowly life unfading love
A heart that nocht on earth could move?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And ere the laverock wings the sky
Sae, wad ye tae the forest hie
And wark wi' me sae merrily?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?

And ere the braw moon glistens o'er
Oor wee bit beild an' heathry moor
Will ye no greet that we're sae poor?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I hae nocht tae offer ye
Nae gowd frae mine, nae pearl frae sea
Nor am I come o' high degree
Lassie, but I lou ye

Oh gin I were a baron's heir
And could I braid wi' gems your hair
And mak ye braw as ye are fair
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I hae nocht tae offer ye
Nae gowd frae mine, nae pearl frae sea
Nor am I come o' high degree
Lassie, but I lou ye
Lassie, but I lou ye
Lassie, but I lou ye
