O gin I were a baron's heir And I could braid gems in my hair, I'd be as braw as ye are fair Laddie would you love me And I would take you to the toun And show you braw sights, manys a wan And I would wear a silken gown Oh, laddie would you love me Oh should you be content I'll prove in lowly life unfading love A heart that none on earth can move Oh, laddie would you love me And ere the laverock wings the sky Would you unto the forest hie And live with me until we die Oh, laddie would you love me And when the braw moon glistens o'er Our lonesome bield and heathery mair Will you no greet that we're so poor Oh laddie for I love thee For I have nought to offer thee No gold from mine nor pearl from sea Nor do I come fae high degree Oh, laddie how I love thee Ah, would you come and marry me Oh, laddie would you love me
