by (?–1803)

Listen in the reader

Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, Roy's wife of Aldivalloch, Wat ye how she cheated me, As I cam o'er the braes of Balloch.

She vow’d, she swore she wad be mine; She said she lo'd me best of ony; But oh! the fickle faithless quean, She's ta'en the carle, and left her Johnie. 6Roy's wife &c.

O she was a canty quean. Weel could she dance the Highland walloch; How happy I, had she been mine, Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch. 6Roy's wife, &c,
