Notes:
  • Songs without music.
  • First sentence of The ewie wi' the crooked horn: "O were I able to rehearse, My ewie's praise in proper verse, I'd sound it baith as loud and fierce, As ever piper's drone could blaw."
  • First sentence of She lives in the valley below: "The broom bloomed so fresh and so fair, The lambkins were sporting around, When I wandered to breathe the fresh air, And by chance a rich treasure I found, A lass sat beneath a green shade, For whose smiles the world I'll forego."
  • First sentence of The star of the east: "Of late you have heard of two lovers, That lived near yon castle so high; 'Lo the greenwoods they oftimes resorted, While the owl from the forest did cry."
  • First sentence of The mill, mill, O: "Beneath a green shade I fand a fair maid, Was sleeping sound and still, O; A' lowan wi' love, my fancy did rove, Around her wi' good will, O."
  • First sentence of On friendship: "The world, my dear Myra, is full of deceit, And friendship's a jewel we seldom can meet, How strange does it seem that in searching around, That source of content is so rare to be found!"
