007 As Down The Burn

Tune: Down The Burn, Davie

1．

As down the burn they took their way,

And thro' the flowery dale;

His cheek to hers he aft did lay,

And love was ay the tale,

2．

With: —‘Mary, when shall we return,

Sic pleasure to renew?’

Quoth Mary: —‘Love, I like the burn,

And ay shall follow you.’
