Duncan Davison
dun davison there was a lass, they ca'd her meg, and she held o'er the moors to spin; there was a lad that follow'd her, they ca'd him dun davison. the moor was dreigh, and meg was skeigh, her favour dun could na win; for wi' the rock she wad him knock, and aye she shook the temper-pin. as o'er the moor they lightly foor, a burn was clear, a glen was green, upon the banks they eas'd their shanks, and aye she set the wheel between: but dun swoor a haly aith, that meg should be a bride the morn; theook up her spinning-graith, and flang them a' out o'er the burn. we will big a wee, wee house, and we will live like king and queen; sae blythe and merry's we will be, whe by the wheel at e'en. a man may drink, and no be drunk; a man may fight, and no be slain; a man may kiss a bonie lass, and aye be wele back again!
