ALTHO’ my bed were in yon muir,
  Amang the heather, in my plaidie;
Yet happy, happy would I be,
  Had I my dear Montgomerie’s Peggy.
 

When o’er the hill beat surly storms,
  And winter nights were dark and rainy;
I’d seek some dell, and in my arms
  I’d shelter dear Montgomerie’s Peggy.
 

Were I a baron proud and high,
  And horse and servants waiting ready;
Then a’ ’twad gie o’ joy to me,—
  The sharin’t with Montgomerie’s Peggy.
