WILT THOU BE MY DEARIE?

Wilt thou be my dearie?When sorrow wrings thy gentle heart,Wilt thou let me cheer thee?By the treasures of my soul,That's the love I bear thee!I swear and vow, that only thouShall ever be my dearie.Only thou, I swear and vow,Shall ever be my dearie.
Lassie, say thou lo'es me;Or if thou wilt na be my ain,Say na thou'lt refuse me;If it winna, canna be,Thou, for thine may choose me,Let me, lassie, quickly die,Trusting that thou lo'es me.Lassie, let me quickly die,Trusting that thou lo'es me.
