As I cam down by yon castle wa'
And in by yon garden green
O, there I spied a bonnie lass
But the flow'r borders were us between

A bonnie, bonnie lassie she was
As ever mine eyes did see!
O, five hundred pounds would I give
For to have a pretty bride like thee

To have a pretty bride like me
Young man, ye are fairly mista'en;
Tho' ye were king o' fair Scotland
I then wad despise being your queen

Talk not so high, my bonnie, bonnie lass
O, talk not so very, very high;
The man at the fair that wad sell
Maun learn at the man that wad buy
