Montgomeries Peggy

    montgomerie's peggy
    tune—“galla water.”
    altho' my bed were in yon muir,
    amang the heather, in my plaidie;
    yet happy, happy would i be,
    had i my dear montgomerie's peggy.
    when o'er the hill beat surly storms,
    and winter nights were dark and rainy;
    i'd seek some dell, and in my arms
    i'd shelter dear montgomerie's peggy.
    were i a baron proud and high,
    and horse and servants waiting ready;
    then a' 'twad gie o' joy to me,—
    the sharin't with montgomerie's peggy.
