* * * Willie's gane to Melville Castle, boots an' spurs an' a' Tae bid the ladies a' fareweill afore he gaes awa' Willie's young an' blythe and bonnie, lo'ed by ane and a' O what will a' the lassies dae when Willie gaes awa'? The first he met was Lady Kate, she led him thro' the ha', And wi' a sad and sorry heart she let the tears doon fa' Beside the fire stood Lady Grace, said ne'er a word ava; She thocht that she was sure o' him, afore he gaed awa'. Then ben the hoose cam' Lady Bell, "Guid troth, ye needna craw. Maybe the lad will fancy me, an' disappoint ye a'." Then doon the stair trip't Lady Jean, the floor amang them a'; "Oh! lassies, trust in Providence, an' ye'll get husbands a'." When on his horse he rade awa', they gaither'd roond the door, He gaily wav'd his bonnet blue, they set up sic a roar! Their cries, their tears brocht Willie back, he kiss'd them ane an' a', "Oh! lasses, bide till I come hame, an' then I'll wed ye a'."
