English poem
Birks of Abergeldie
by John Pinkerton (1845–1908)
Bonnie lassie will ye go, Will ye go, will ye go, Bonnie lassie will ye go To the birks of Abergeldie? Ye sall get a gown of silk, A gown of silk, a gown of silk, Ye sall get a gown of silk, And coat of callimankie.
Na, kind sir, I dar nae gang, I dare nae gang, I dar nae gang, Na, kind sir, I dar nae gang; My minny will be angry. Sair, sair, wad she flyte, Wad she flyte, wad she flyte; Sair, sair, wad she flyte; And sair wad she ban me.
