As they came on to Glasgow town,
And passd the banks and braes sae bonny,
There they espied the weel-faurd may,
And she said to them her name was Peggy.
Their chief did meet her father soon,
And O! but he was wondrous angry;
Says, Ye may steal my owsen and kye,
But ye maunna steal my bonnie Peggy.
O haud your tongue, ye gude auld man,
For Ive got cows and ewes already;
I come na to steal your owsen and kye,
But I will steal your bonny Peggy.
He set her on a jet-black horse,
And he himsel rode a gude grey naigie,
And they are on mony miles to the north,
And nane wi them but the bonny Peggy.
'I hae now ten thousand sheep,
A feeding on yon braes sae bonny,
And ilka hundred a shepherd has,
Altho I be but a Hieland laddie.
Its I hae fifty acres of land,
Its a plowd and sawn already;
I am Donald, the Lord of Skye,
And why sud na Peggy be calld a lady?
