Song - Wha Is That At My Bower-Door

Tune—"Lass, an I come near thee."

"Wha is that at my bower-door?"

"O wha is it but Findlay!"

"Then gae your gate, ye'se nae be here:"

"Indeed maun I," quo' Findlay;

"What mak' ye, sae like a thief?"

"O come and see," quo' Findlay;

"Before the morn ye'll work mischief:"

"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.

"Gif I rise and let you in"—

"Let me in," quo' Findlay;

"Ye'll keep me waukin wi' your din;"

"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay;

"In my bower if ye should stay"—

"Let me stay," quo' Findlay;

"I fear ye'll bide till break o' day;"

"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.

"Here this night if ye remain"—

"I'll remain," quo' Findlay;

"I dread ye'll learn the gate again;"

"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.

"What may pass within this bower"—

"Let it pass," quo' Findlay;

"Ye maun conceal till your last hour:"

"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.
