fragment—the mauchline lady
tune—“i had a horse, i had nae mair.”
when first i came to stewart kyle,
my mind it was na steady;
where'er i gaed, where'er i rade,
a mistress still i had aye.
but when i came roun' by mauchline toun,
not dreadin anybody,
my heart was caught, before i thought,
and by a mauchline lady.
