|
My heart was ance as blithe and free |
|
As simmer days were lang; |
|
But a bonie, westlin weaver lad |
|
Has gart me change my sang. |
|
Chorus.-To the weaver's gin ye go, fair maids, |
|
To the weaver's gin ye go; |
|
I rede you right, gang ne'er at night, |
|
To the weaver's gin ye go. |
|
My mither sent me to the town, |
|
To warp a plaiden wab; |
|
But the weary, weary warpin o't |
|
Has gart me sigh and sab. |
|
To the weaver's, &c. |
|
A bonie, westlin weaver lad |
|
Sat working at his loom; |
|
He took my heart as wi' a net, |
|
In every knot and thrum. |
|
To the weaver's, &c. |
|
I sat beside my warpin-wheel, |
|
And aye I ca'd it roun'; |
|
But every shot and evey knock, |
|
My heart it gae a stoun. |
|
To the weaver's, &c. |
|
The moon was sinking in the west, |
|
Wi' visage pale and wan, |
|
As my bonie, westlin weaver lad |
|
Convoy'd me thro' the glen. |
|
To the weaver's, &c. |
|
But what was said, or what was done, |
|
Shame fa' me gin |
|
I tell; But |
|
Oh! I fear the kintra soon |
|
Will ken as weel's myself! |
|
To the weaver's, &c. |
