Wilt thou be my dearie?

Language: English

Wilt thou be my dearie?
When sorrow wrings thy gentle heart,
O wilt thou let me chear thee?
By the treasure of my soul,
That's the love I bear thee!
I swear and vow that only thou
Shall ever be my dearie:
Only thou, I swear and vow
Shall ever be my dearie.

Lassie, say thou lo'es me;
Or if thou wilt na be my ain,
Sayna thou'lt refuse me.
if it winna, canna be,
Thou for thine may choose me;
Let me, lassie, quickly die,
Trusting that thou lo'es me:
Lassie, let me quickly die,
Trusting that thou lo'es me!
