Tibbie Dunbar

Oh, wilt thou go wi me sweet Tibby DunbarOh, wilt thou go wi me sweet Tibby DunbarWilt thou ride on a horse or be drawn in a cartOr walk by my side sweet Tibby Dunbar?

A care nae thy daddie, his land or his monyA care nae thy kin, sae high and sae lordlyBut say that thou'lt hae me for better or waurAnd com in your coatie sweet Tibby Dunbar

A offer you ma'y thing in sillar or landWhat men could determine the price of your handWhat gin you consent we'd be richer by farOh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby Dunbar?

Oh, wilt thou be known as a poor beggar's ladyAnd sleep in the heather rolled up in my plaidieThe sky for a roof and your candle a starMy love for a fire sweet Tibby Dunbar

Oh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby DunbarOh, wilt thou go wi' me sweet Tibby DunbarWilt thou ride on a horse or be drawn in a cartOr walk by my side sweet Tibby Dunbar?

Tibby Dunbar

Oh, will you go with me, sweet Tibby DunbarOh, will you go with me, sweet Tibby DunbarWill you ride horseback, or be pulled in a cartOr walk by my side, sweet Tibby Dunbar?

I don't care about your daddy, his land or his moneyI don't care about your family, so high and so loftyBut say that you will have me for better or worseAnd come in your gown, sweet Tibby Dunbar

I am offering you many things in silver or in landWhat men could determine the price of your hand (in marriage)What if you (were to) consent we would be richer by farOh, will you go with me, sweet Tibby Dunbar?

Oh, will you be known as a poor beggar's wifeAnd sleep in the heather rolled up in my tartan wrapThe sky for a roof, and your candle, a starMy love for a fire (warmth), sweet Tibby Dunbar.

Oh, will you go with me, sweet Tibby DunbarOh, will you go with me, sweet Tibby DunbarWill you ride horseback, or be pulled in a cartOr walk by my side, sweet Tibby Dunbar?
