007 As Down The Burn
Tune: Down The Burn, Davie
1．
As down the burn they took their way,
And thro' the flowery dale;
His cheek to hers he aft did lay,
And love was ay the tale,
2．
With: —‘Mary, when shall we return,
Sic pleasure to renew?’
Quoth Mary: —‘Love, I like the burn,
And ay shall follow you.’
