When in canty mood
I roam the moors
Wi’o’ a care i’ the warld,
I take muckle care to skirt the place
Thocht to be favour’d by the elves.
Noo I’ve nowt against the wee folk,
’Tis juist I’m a God-fearin’ lass,
An’ the noo young pastor, bless him,
(Sae braw and couthie, ye ken)—
Weel, I’d liefer not risk his offence.
