021 Bonie Peg-a-Ramsay
Tune: Peggy Ramsay
1．
Cauld is the e'enin blast
O' Boreas o'er the pool,
An' dawin, it is dreary,
When birks are bare at Yule.
2．
O, cauld blaws the e'enin blast,
When bitter bites the frost,
And in the mirk and dreary drift
The hills and glens are lost!
3．
Ne'er sae murky blew the night
That drifted o'er the hill,
But bonie Peg-a-Ramsay
Gat grist to her mill.
