Poem by Robert Burns

Montgomerie’s Peggy

ALTHO’ my bed were in yon muir,
  Amang the heather, in my plaidie,
Yet happy, happy would I be,
  Had I my dear Montgomerie’s Peggy.

When o’er the hill beat surly storm;
  And winter nights were dark and rainy,
I’d seek some dell, and in my arms
  I’d shelter dear Montgomerie’s Peggy.

Were I a Baron proud and high,
  And horse and servants waiting ready,
Then a’ ‘twad gie o’ joy to me,
  The sharin’t wi’ Montgomerie’s Peggy.

1. O, Wat Ye Wha’s In Yon Town?
2. When First I Came to Stewart Kyle
3. Here’s His Health in Water!
4. The Rantin’ Dog the Daddie O’t
5. Stanzas on the Same Occasion
