A silken gown o' siller gray, My mither coft last new-year's day, And buskit me frae tap to tac. To keep me out o' Gowrie. Daft Will, short syne, cam' courting Nel And wan the lass, but what befcl, Or whare she's gane, she kens hcrsel', She staid na lang in Gowrie. Sic thoiiLjlits, dour Katie, ill combine Wi' beauty rare, and wit like thine ; Except yoursel', my bonnie quean, I care for nought in Gowrie. Since first I saw you in the sheal, To you my heart's been true and Ical ; The darkest nigh...t I fear nae do'il. Warlock, or witch, in Gowrie. Saft kisses on her lips I laid, The blush u^jon her checks soon spread She whisper'd modestly, and said, Pate, I'll stay in Gowrie ! The auld folks soon ga'e their consent, Syne for Mess John they quickly sent, Wha ty'd them to their heart's content. And now she's Lady Gowrie. COMIN THROUGH THE RYE. Tms modem version of one of our early songs : a set, based upon llio old words, but so altered by Buins as to be included in nearly every edition of his songs as his own, appears in Johnson's Musciun.
