Brief Musical
Introduction
Sandy MacLaurin an braw Mae MacSporran
Wur guid jos ah'll hiv ye tae ken,
Fan nicht-time wis faa'in oan her he'd ging
caa'in
Oot-bye o
her wee but-an-ben;
He'd say,"This gloamin is gran fur us
roamin
The hedder
afore cuddlin doon."
Her broon e'en wid spirkle an she'd gie a
giggle
Syne dince
alangside her loo'd loon.
Aff they wid rin doon
the waakie,
Ilk
nae gawky,
Ilk aye
lauchy;
Han in han
they'd flee thegither
Ow'r burns they'd wheech lik dist;
Baith kenned the grun wi its hedder,
Mony a biel an aft bane-dry's weel
Oonless reyn cam poorin, or wins whang'd
loats stoor in
Tae
spile their saff tryst.
Ae nicht fan thunner wis
rummlin,
They wur
cuddlin,
Fan richt-sudden,
Lichtnin flachts claise tae thur neukie
Seen pit them in a flaff.
Priggin tae Gweed tae hiv mercy,
Sandy heeld Mae hoo loo'ers maun dae,
Oontil she stapp'd shakin,
An the storm rage wis brakin,
An they baith wur saff. |
