Friendless Mary

Far ael yon hoose whar heather grells
I met a lass wi her lambs and yews
The lambs cam fresclin all the knell
And the sun was shining clearly-0
The lambs cam fresclin ael the knell
And the sun was shining clearly-0

Says I "My fair and comely dame
Wud ye be sae kind as tell me your naim?
Or tell me the place ye call yar hame
For yur beauty shines so, early-0."

"D'ye see yon hoose a'hint the green?
This last six weeks I hunny been seen
Ma mither she clost her twa black e'en
Sayin' 'Fair thee weel my Mary-0'."

"D'ye see yon hoose a'hint that tree?
When I was born me faither he dee
Me mither was left tae be ma guid
And she ca'ed me Friendless Mary-0."

"If ye'll consent tae cum wi me
And be my bride across the sea
A braw' guid man I'll be tae ye
And ye'll be ma mair Friendless Mary-0."

“I'll consent tae gang wi ye
And be a bride across the sea
A braw guid wife I'll be tae thee
And I'll be na mair Friendless Mary-0."
