Proud Maisie is in the wood

Walking so early

Sweet Robin sits on the bush

Singing so rarely

Tell me though bonny bird

When shall I marry me

When six braw gentlemen

Kirkward shall carry you

Who makes the bridal bed

Birdie say truly

The grey-headed sexton

That delves the grave duly

The glow-worm over grave and stone

Shall light the steady

The owl from the steeple sing

Welcome proud lady

Proud Maisie By Sir Walter Scott - John Laurie
