You Shall Be My Love

As Jockey sat beneath a shade, While breezes fan the grove, Young Jenny tript along the mead, The lass that Jockey lov'd: O! did you know, he cry'd, the pain That harbours in my breast, You ne'er would let me sue in vain, But make me ever blest. Then let's gang down the burn so gay, Or thro' the shady grove, For there we'll toy and kiss and play, And you shall be my love.

For I'll no longer single be, I hate a single life; Then Jenny to incline to me, And you shall be my wife; For Oh! your een they glitter so, Their charms I scarce can teel, But this I know, where'er I go, I love my Jenny weel. Then let's gang down, &c.

Young Jenny heard the render tale, And promised to be kind; Soft tales of love did soon prevail, And soon she own'd her mind: Next day to kirk they fondly stray'd, There vowed to love for life, Fair Jane tho' late the coldest maid, Is now the fondest wife, They now gang down the burn so gay, Or thro' the shady grove, And there they toy and kiss and play, Exchanging vows of love.
