Beside the bonny hawthorn that bloom in the vale. That blooms in the vale that blooms in the vale. Beside the bonny hawthorn, that blooms in the vale.

O bark bonny Bess, hear the birds in yoa grove. How delightful they sing how inviting to love, The briars deeled with roses parfume the fanning gale Beside the bonny hawthorn, that blooms in the vale That blooms, &c.

His words they were so moving, his looks so soft and kind They afford me the youth bad no gole in his mind My heart too confused him, the flower of all the dale, Beside the bonny hawthorn that blooms in the vale, That blooms &c.

Now tell me ye lovers if I could refose, My Jamie was so pressing so binding his vows. We went and were married, most cordially we dwell, Beside the bonny hawthorn, that blooms in the vale, That blooms, &c.

KATTIE AND WABSTER JOCK.

PReserve us Johnny! you've trantlooms mony ! I thought I saw them a' wi' my een: But though ye skin them up for bonnie, ye're nae fae rich as ye wad team.

The loom, for guid fake, ride nae mair on her, Ye'll break her back, shes false at the baine : Amang the traddles, ye'll light wi dishonour, ye're no sae rich as ye wad seem.

Your heedles are auld, your kavels are rotten, your shuttle's a lazy jade, I ween; Your traddles but arnie, twa of them broken: Ye're no sae rich as ye wad seem.
