  • First sentence of Sweet Willy o' the green: "On Tay's sweet pleasant banks, Where so carelessly I stray'd, They call'd me bonny Bell, once the winsome laughing Maid, My time I spent in vain, I sang frae morn till c'en, When first I gain'd the charms O' sweet Willy o' the Green, Wi' his een sae bright, shines wi' delight, Nane dance or pipe like Willy, The Shepherd's art has won my heart, I sigh for bonny Willy, I sigh for bonny Willy."
