Tibbie Dunbar [English translation]

Oh, wilt thou go wi me sweet Tibby Dunbar

Oh, wilt thou go wi me sweet Tibby Dunbar

Wilt thou ride on a horse or be drawn in a cart

Or walk by my side sweet Tibby Dunbar?

A care nae thy daddie, his land or his mony

A care nae thy kin, sae high and sae lordly

But say that thou'lt hae me for better or waur

And com in your coatie sweet Tibby Dunbar

A offer you ma'y thing in sillar or land

What men could determine the price of your hand

What gin you consent we'd be richer by far

Oh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby Dunbar?

Oh, wilt thou be known as a poor beggar's lady

And sleep in the heather rolled up in my plaidie

The sky for a roof and your candle a star

My love for a fire sweet Tibby Dunbar

Oh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby Dunbar

Oh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby Dunbar

Wilt thou ride on a horse or be drawn in a cart

Or walk by my side sweet Tibby Dunbar?
