1.O Mary at thy window be, It is the wish'd the trysted hour! Those smiles and glances let me see, That mak' the misers treasure poor. How blythely wad I bide the stoure, A weary slave frae sun tae sun, Could I the rich reward secure, The lovely Mary Morison 2.Yestre'en when to the trembling string The dance ga'ed thro' thelighted ha', To thee my fancy took it's wing, I sat, but neither heard nor saw: Tho' this was fair, and that was braw, And yon the toast of a' the town, I sigh'd and saidamang them a', "Ye are na Mary Morison 3.O Mary, canst thou wreck his peace, Wha for thy sake wadgladly dee? Or canst thou brak that heart of his, Whase only fault is loving thee? If love for love thou wilt na gi'e, At least be pity to me shown! A thought ungentle canna be The thought o' Mary Morison.
