First When Maggy Was My Care.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "Whistle o'er the lave o't." I. First when Maggy was my care, Heaven, I thought, was in her air; Now we're married, spier nae mair, Whistle o'er the lave o't. Meg was meek, and Meg was mild, Bonnie Meg was nature's child; Wiser men than me's beguil'd, Whistle o'er the lave o't. II. How we live, my Meg and me, How we love, and how we 'gree, I care na by how few may see; Whistle o'er the lave o't. Wha I wish were maggot's meat, Dish'd up in her winding sheet, I could write, but Meg maun see't, Whistle o'er the lave o't.
