"I'm a forester in these woods an' ye're the same
design
It's the mantle o' your maidenhead, bonnie lassie, never mind"
And sing
diddy i o, sing fal a do, sing diddy i o i ay
"Since ye've laid me doon, come pick me up
again
An' since ye've ta'en the wiles o' me, come tell tae me your name
"Sometimes
they ca' me James, an' sometimes they ca' me John
But when I'm on the King's highway, Young
William is my name"
"They neither ca' you James, nor dae they ca' you John
But when
you're on the King's highway Young Gilbert is your name"
When he heard his name cried
oot, he's mounted on his steed
But she's buckled up her petticoats an' after him she's
gaed
He rad an' she ran the lang simmer's day
Until they came tae a water, it was
ca'ed the River Spey
"Dae ye see the castle standin in yonder green
An dae ye see
the maidens there that would dazzle your e'en?"
"I can see the castle standing in yonder
green
An yes, I can see the maidens there, the prettiest ever seen"
"The water it's
o'er deep, my love, I fear ye canna wade"
Afore he got his horse well oot, she was at the ither
side
Noo she's in afore the King, bowed doon upon a knee
"There's a chancellor in
your court an' he has robbit me"
"Well did he steal your mantle or did he steal your
fee
Or did he steal your maidenheid, the flower of your body?"
"He didna steal my
mantle, nor did he steal my fee
But yes, he stole my maidenheid, and that's the worst o'
three"
"Well gin he be a single man, ye shall married be
But gin he be a married man, I'll
hang him tae yon tree"
"I wisht I'd drunk the water the nicht I drank the wine
Tae
think that a shepherd's daughter would hae been a love o'
mine"
Noo when it cam
tae the weddin', they laughed tae see the fun
She's the laird o' Urie's daughter an' him but a
blacksmith's son
