Sandy o‘er the lee.

I winna marry ony man but Sandy o'er the lee, I winna marry ony man but Sandy o'er the lee; I winna hae the dominie for guid he canna be, But I will hae my Sandy lad, my Sandy o'er the lee. For he's ay a-kissing, kissing, ay a-kissing me, He's ay a-kissing kissing, ay, a-kissing me.
I winna hae the minister for a' his godly looks, Nor yet will I the lawyer hae, for a' his wily crooks;I winna hae the plowman lad, nor yet will I the miller, But I will hae my Sandy lad without a penny siller,For he's ay, &c.
I winna hae the soldier lad for he gangs to the war, I winna hae the sailor lad because he smells o' tar ​I winna hae the lord nor laird for a' their muckle gear But I will hae my Sandy lad, my Sandy o'er the muir. For he's ay, &c.
