fragment—the mauchline lady

    tune—“i had a horse, i had nae mair.”

    when first i came to stewart kyle,

    my mind it was na steady;

    where'er i gaed, where'er i rade,

    a mistress still i had aye.

    but when i came roun' by mauchline toun,

    not dreadin anybody,

    my heart was caught, before i thought,

    and by a mauchline lady.
