Burd Ellen sits in the bower windowe,

With a double laddy double, and for the double dow, Twisting the red silk and the blue, With the double rose and the May-hay.

5 And whiles she twisted, and whiles she twan,

With a double, &c. And whiles the tears fell down amang, With the double, &c.

10 Till once there by cam young Tamlane,

With a double, &c. "Come light, oh light, and rock your young son!" With the double, &c.

"If you winna rock him, you may let him rair,

With a double, &c. 15 For I hae rockit my share and mair." With the double, &c.

Young Tamlane to the seas he's gane,

With a double laddy double, and for the double dow,

And a' women's curse in his company's gane,

20 With the double rose and the May-hay.
