VIII. My Ain Kind Dearie, O | | By Carolina, Lady Nairne (1766–1845) |
| | | WILL ye gang owre the lea-rig, | |
| My ain kind dearie, O? | |
| Will ye gang ower the lea-rig, | |
| My ain kind dearie, O? | |
| Gin ye’ll tak’ heart, and gang wi’ me, | 5 |
| Mishap will never steer ye, O; | |
| Gude luck lies owre the lea-rig, | |
| My ain kind dearie, O. | |
| |
| There’s walth owre yon green lea-rig, | |
| My ain kind dearie, O; | 10 |
| There’s walth owre yon green lea-rig, | |
| My ain kind dearie, O; | |
| It’s neither land, nor gowd, nor braws, | |
| Let them gang tapsie teerie, O; | |
| It’s walth o’ peace, o’ love, and truth, | 15 |
| My ain kind dearie, O. | | | | |
