¶Lyrics / Text

Proud Maisie is in the wood, Walking so early; Sweet Robin sits on the bush, Singing so rarely. “Tell me, thou bonny bird, When shall I marry me?” “When six braw gentlemen Kirkward shall carry ye.” “Who makes the bridal bed, Birdie, say truly?” “The grey-headed sexton That delves the grave duly. “‘The glow-worm o’er grave and stone Shall light thee steady; The owl from the steeple sing Welcome, proud lady!’”
