The Laird Of Cockpen - Mary O'Hara[00:00:00]
The laird o' cockpen he's proud an' he's great[00:00:10]
His mind is ta'en up wi' the things o' the state[00:00:14]
He wanted a wife his braw house to keep[00:00:18]
But favour wi' wooin' was fashious to seek[00:00:21]
Down by the dyke-side a lady did dwell[00:00:25]
At his table head he thocht she'd look well[00:00:29]
M leish's ae dochter o' clavers-ha' lea[00:00:32]
A penniless lass wi' a lang pedigree[00:00:36]
His wig was weel pouther'd and as gude as new[00:00:47]
His waistcoat was white his coat it was blue[00:00:51]
He put on a ring a sword and cock'd hat[00:00:54]
And wha could refuse the laird wi' a' that[00:00:58]
He mounted his mare and he rade cannily[00:01:02]
And rapp'd at the yett o' clavers-ha' lea[00:01:05]
Gae tell mistress jean to come speedily ben[00:01:09]
She's wanted to speak to the laird o' cockpen[00:01:12]
Mistress jean she was makin' the elderflower wine[00:01:22]
An' what brings the laird at sic a like time[00:01:26]
She put aff her apron and on her silk goun[00:01:29]
Her mutch wi' red ribbons and gaed awa' doun[00:01:32]
An' when she cam' ben he bowed fu' low[00:01:39]
An' what was his errand he soon let her know[00:01:42]
Amazed was the laird when the lady said na[00:01:46]
And wi' a laigh curtsie she turned awa'[00:01:49]
Dumfounder'd was he nae sigh did he gie[00:02:06]
He mounted his mare and he rade cannily[00:02:10]
An' aften he thought as he gaed through the glen[00:02:13]
She's daft to refuse the laird o' cockpen[00:02:16]
