Mill（1 / 1）

meg o' the mill

o ken ye what meg o' the mill has gotten,

an' ken ye what meg o' the mill has gotten?

she gotten a coof wi' a claut o' siller,

and broken the heart o' the barley miller.

the miller was strappin, the miller was ruddy;

a heart like a lord, and a hue like a lady;

the laird was a widdifu', bleerit knurl;

she's left the gude fellow, and taen the churl.

the miller he hecht her a heart leal and loving,

the lair did address her wi' matter mair moving,

a fine pacing-horse wi' a clear chained bridle,

a whip by her side, and a bonie side-saddle.

o wae on the siller, it is sae prevailin',

and wae on the love that is fixed on a mailen!

a tocher's nae word in a true lover's parle,

but gie me my love, and a fig for the warl'!
