Tho' cruel Fate should bid us part,
Stay, my charmer, can you leave me?

What will I do gin my Hoggie die?

Songs from Johnson's Third Vol., Feb. 2, 1790.

Laddie, lie near me (old words),
The Gardener wi' his paidle,
On a bank of flowers,

The day returns, my bosom burns,

My Love she's but a lassie yet,
Jamie come try me,

My bonie Mary,

The lazy mist,

The Captain's Lady,

I love my Jean-"Of a' the airts,"

Carl, an the king come,

Whistle o'er the lave o't,

O, were I on Parnassus hill,
The captive ribband,

There's a youth in this city,
My heart's in the Highlands,

John Anderson my jo,

Awa', Whigs, awa',

Ca' the ewes to the knowes (first set),

Merry hae I been teethin' a heckle,

A mother's lament for the death of her son,

The braes o' Ballochmyle, .

The rantin dog, the daddie o't,

My Mary, dear departed Shade,
Eppie Adair,

The Battle of Sherra-Moor,

Young Jockey was the blythest lad,
A waukrife Minnie,

For a' that, an' a' that (first set),

Willie brew'd a peck o' maut,
Killicrankie,

The blue-eyed Lassie,

The banks of Nith,

Tam Glen,
