It fell ance upon a day, Edinbro', Edinbro', It fell ance upon a day, Stirling for aye ;
It fell ance upon a day,
The clerk and lady went to play, So proper Saint Johnston stands fair upon Tay. t
" If my baby be a son, Edinbro', Edinbro', If my baby be a son, Stirling for aye;
If my baby be a son,
I'll make him a lord o' high renown," So proper Saint Johnston stands fair upon Tay. 10
She's lean'd her back to the wa,' Edinbro', Edinbro', She's lean'd her back to the wa', Stirling for aye;
She's lean'd her back to the wa',
Pray'd that her pains might fa', So proper Saint Johnston stands fair upon Tay. u |
