Spinning Wheel
「As Jean sat by her spinning wheel
A bonnie laddie he passed by
She looked aroond and viewed him weel,
But aye she truned her spinning wheel.
A weel-faured lad, she liked him weel,
But aye she turned her spinning wheel.
He flang his airms aroond her waist
The bonnie lassie he embraced
He kissed her on baith cheek and chin
And syne the lassie answered him
And burning love her heart did feel,
But aye she turned her spinning wheel.
He praised her fingers lang and small
Her gowden hair that doon did fa';
He said nae lady could compare
The lassie's hairt he wounded sair,
The lassie's love he socht to steal,
But aye she turned her spinning wheel.
O, leeze me on my spinning wheel,
O, leeze me on my rock and reel,
I left them a' and gaed wi' speed
To walk wi' him in yon green glade
And wi' a kiss oor love to seal,
And left my rook and spinning wheel.
It's gang wi' me, the lad he said,
It's gang wi' me, my bonnie maid,
And tae the corn-riggs I'll tak' you
And learn ye better work to do,
And what I learned I liked it weel
And clean forgot my spinning wheel.
And there amang the roggs o' corn
The bonnie laddie laid me doon
And tae his wark he went wi' skill
And I did learn wi' richt guid will
And what was done I liked it weel,
Far better than my spinning wheel.
GLOSSARY
weel-faured handsome
syne eventually
sair sorely
gaed went
gang go
baith both
gowden golden
leeze me on an expression of great pleasure
richt guid will right good will」
「A version of this fine song is to be found in the "Tea-Table Miscellany" but, as with many of the songs reworked by Ramsey, it has a somewhat artificial flavour. The version given here was learned from Betsy Henry of Auchterarder.」
