meg o' the mill

o ken ye what meg o' the mill has gotten,

an' ken ye what meg o' the mill has gotten?

she gotten a coof wi' a claut o' siller,

and broken the heart o' the barley miller.

the miller was strappin, the miller was ruddy;

a heart like a lord, and a hue like a lady;

the laird was a widdifu', bleerit knurl;

she's left the gude fellow, and taen the churl.
